Rezensionen

"The shape of religion and secularism has hardly been uniform in India. Yet Hindu nationalism has affected them in all regions and states. Through a wide range of insightful essays, this extraordinary volume focuses on Kerala and deftly shows how this state is no longer the exception it once was. A pioneer in the study of state politics in India, this is a compelling read."
