Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through shrewd marketing and publicity, Hindu spiritual leaders can play powerful roles in contemporary India as businessmen and government officials. Focusing on the organizations and activities of Hindu ascetics and gurus, Lise McKean explores the complex interrelations among religion, the political economy of India, and global capitalism. In this close look at the business of religion, McKean traces the ideological and organizational antecedents to the Hindu nationalist movement. The Indian state's increasing patronage of Hindu institutions makes competition for its support greater than ever. Using materials from guru's publications, the press, and extensive field research, McKean examines how participation by upper-caste ruling class groups in the Divine Life Society and other Hindu organizations further legitimates their own authority. With a remarkable selection of photographs and advertisements showing icons of spirituality used to sell commodities from textiles to cement to comic books, McKean illustrates the pervasive presence of Hindu imagery in India's burgeoning market economy. She shows how gurus popularize Hindu nationalism through imagery such as the goddess, Mother India, and her martyred sons and daughters.

Download or read book The Nazification Of India written by Sadaf A. & Faiza Zainab Khan and published by Justice For All. This book was released on 2023-02-20 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world witnessed the horrors of the Holocaust, the result of a strategic plan by the agencies of Hitler, the German fuhrer. Thankfully the world reacted to his machinations, but only after millions of Jewish victims of his hatred, and declared that such horrors should happen, “Never Again”. But those words have not been followed through in international action, and genocides have been repeated time and again since. Each time, the genocide playbook of the Nazis was followed to some degree or the other. India is unique in that its current pogroms against minority populations, the Muslims and Christians of India, follow the Nazi playbook to a degree that cannot be considered as coincidental. India’s Nazis have embraced German Nazi methods, and are emboldened by international inaction in the cases from Rwanda and Burma. They rely on the flawed perception of India as a democracy to shield their pogroms until perhaps it will be too late. This report analyzes twelve parallels between Nazi Germany and India under the regime of Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Acting in conjunction with the largest voluntary paramilitary organization, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Modi provides the administrative & legal framework to implement the ideology of the RSS, called Hindutva. Deriving from the religion of Hinduism, it is however, an extremist, nationalistic and fascist offshoot that has, from its inception in the early 1900s, sought to marginalize religions originating outside of what is considered as greater India, stretching far beyond the Indian borders of today. The report discusses the supremacist ideas at the core, combined with a yearning of a glorious past, and how it has led to dehumanization, legal and economic repression, vilification, ghettoization, and the destruction of properties, all using the building of a cult figure and paramilitary training even for very young recruits. This deadly machinery is brought to bear on India’s Muslims and to a lesser extent, on India’s Christians, with devastating and demoralizing effect. We hope that the report sheds light on the dire situation for minorities, being created in India by the RSS-BJP regime. It is imperative for the international community to set aside the economic benefits seen in India, and act decisively to prevent what will certainly be mass marginalization, frequent but geographically separated mass killings and continued lynchings, beatings and economic deprivation of a population larger than the entire population of many of the world’s countries. The report ends with recommendations for the United Nations States, Canada, and civil groups to stem the rise of fascism in India and prevent yet another genocide from happening.

Download or read book Communalism in Postcolonial India written by Mujibur Rehman and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reconceptualises the idea of communalism in independent India. It locates the changing contours of politics and religion in the country from the colonial times to the present day, and makes an important intervention in understanding the relationship between communalism and communal violence. It evaluates the role of state, media, civil societies, political parties, and other actors in the process as well as ideas such as secularism, nationalism, minority rights and democracy. Using new conceptual tools and an interdisciplinary approach, the work challenges the conventional understanding of communalism as time and context independent. This second edition includes a Foreword by Romila Thapar and an Afterword by Dipesh Chakrabarty, along with a new Introduction which revaluate the trajectory of communal politics in contemporary India, and question how secularism has come to be understood today. This topical volume will be useful to scholars and researchers in South Asian politics, political science, history, sociology and social anthropology, as well as the interested general reader.

Download or read book Bridging Neoliberalism and Hindu Nationalism written by Marie Lall and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India will soon be the world’s most populated country and its political development will shape the world of the 21st century. Yet Hindu nationalism – at the helm of contemporary Indian politics – is not well understood outside of India, and its links to the global neoliberal trajectory have not been explored. Covering 30 years of Indian politics, this book shows for the first time the importance of education in propagating the acceptance of Hindu nationalism within a neolberal system, including the reframing of the concept of Indian citizenship. The first five years of Modi rule failed to bring about the development that had been promised and have seen India’s rapid change from a largely inclusive society to one where religious minorities are denied their basic rights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian party politics, commonly viewed as chaotic, clientelistic, and corrupt, is nevertheless a model for deepening democracy and accommodating diversity. Historically, though, observers have argued that Indian politics is non-ideological in nature. In contrast, Pradeep Chhibber and Rahul Verma contend that the Western European paradigm of "ideology" is not applicable to many contemporary multiethnic countries. In these more diverse states, the most important ideological debates center on statism-the extent to which the state should dominate and regulate society-and recognition-whether and how the state should accommodate various marginalized groups and protect minority rights from majorities. Using survey data from the Indian National Election Studies and evidence from the Constituent Assembly debates, they show how education, the media, and religious practice transmit the competing ideas that lie at the heart of ideological debates in India.

Book excerpt: The rise of authoritarian Hindu mass movements and political formations in India since the early 1980s raises fundamental questions about the resurgence of chauvinistic ethnic, religious and nationalist movements in the late modern period. This book examines the history and ideologies of Hindu nationalism and Hindutva from the end of the last century to the present, and critically evaluates the social and political philosophies and writings of its main thinkers.Hindu nationalism is based on the claim that it is an indigenous product of the primordial and authentic ethnic and religious traditions of India. The book argues instead that these claims are based on relatively recent ideas, frequently related to western influences during the colonial period. These influences include eighteenth and nineteenth century European Romantic and Enlightenment rationalist ideas preoccupied with archaic primordialism, evolution, organicism, vitalism and race. As well as considering the ideological impact of National Socialism and Fascism on Hindu nationalism in the 1930s, the book also looks at how Aryanism continues to be promoted in unexpected forms in contemporary India. Using a wide range of historical and contemporary sources, the author considers the consequences of Hindu nationalist resurgence in the light of contemporary debates about minorities, secular citizenship, ethics and modernity.

Download or read book Hindu Nationalism and Terrorism in India written by Eamon Murphy and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses terrorism and the rise of Hindu nationalism in contemporary India and examines how this movement has become a threat to democracy in the country. The work analyses the rise of Hindu nationalism, culminating in the success of Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the political arm of the movement, in the 2019 Indian national elections. It offers an accessible account of the complexities and subtleties of Hindu nationalism and the dangers it poses to India’s pluralistic democracy and secularism. A major theme of the book is the role that terrorism has played in the rise of Hindu nationalism, a factor often underplayed or ignored in other studies, and it also challenges the widespread belief that terrorism is largely an Islamic phenomenon. Employing a cross-disciplinary approach, the book is highly relevant to both academics and policymakers, given India’s importance as a major global economic and military power. This book will be of interest to students of terrorism and political violence, South Asian history, Indian politics and international relations, as well as policymakers.

Download or read book Coalition Politics and Hindu Nationalism written by Katharine Adeney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-04-11 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new collection examines the emergence of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in India and the ways in which its Hindu nationalist agenda has been affected by the constraints of being a dominant member of a coalition government. Religious influence in contemporary politics offers a fertile ground for political-sociological analysis, especially in societies where religion is a very important source of collective identity. In South Asian societies religion can, and often has, provided legitimacy to both governments and those who oppose them. This book examines the emergence of the BJP and the ways in which its Hindu nationalist agenda has been affected by the constraints of being a dominant member of a coalition government. The collected authors take stock of the party's first full term in power, presiding over the diverse forces of the governing NDA coalition, and the 2004 elections. They assess the BJP's performance in relation to its stated goals, and more specifically how it has fared in a range of policy fields - centre-state relations, foreign policy, defence policies, the 'second generation' of economic reforms, initiatives to curb corruption and the fate of minorities. Explicitly linking the volume to literature on coalition politics, this book will be of great importance to students and researchers in the fields of South Asian studies and politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hindu nationalism came to world attention in 1998, when the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won national elections in India. Although the BJP was defeated nationally in 2004, it continues to govern large Indian states, and the movement it represents remains a major force in the world's largest democracy. This book presents the thought of the founding fathers and key intellectual leaders of Hindu nationalism from the time of the British Raj, through the independence period, to the present. Spanning more than 130 years of Indian history and including the writings of both famous and unknown ideologues, this reader reveals how the "Hindutuva" movement approaches key issues of Indian politics. Covering such important topics as secularism, religious conversion, relations with Muslims, education, and Hindu identity in the growing diaspora, this reader will be indispensable for anyone wishing to understand contemporary Indian politics, society, culture, or history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume moves the study of South Asia to the center of sociological analysis, bringing together recent scholarship across sites in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Pakistan, as well as in Ethiopia and the USA. This book situates the project of decolonizing the discipline within a rich transnational intellectual legacy and reveals how South Asia offers a uniquely generative site from which to rethink sociological practice. Recognizing local and global influences at their specific sites, the contributing authors highlight the historical ravages of colonialism and imperialism, modernization projects of the postcolonial era, and the kaleidoscopic ways in which gender, caste, class, and sexuality structure everyday life under neoliberalism today. The sociology of South Asia centers the voices and experiences of those marginalized by local and global systems of power in order to produce knowledge that advances interconnected projects of liberation.
