Religious Division and Social Conflict (eBook, ePUB)

The Emergence of Hindu Nationalism in Rural India

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book is an ethnographic account of the emergence of Hindu nationalism in a tribal community in Chhattisgarh, central India. It is argued that the involvement of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a militant Hindu nationalist organization, in local affairs is the primary reason for this spread. The book argues that participation in more aggressive strategies has made it possible for this organization to fuel and attach local tensions to a broader Hindu nationalist agenda.
