Hindu nationalism became a powerful societal force in
India during the 1990s. The political success of
Hindu nationalism seemed to signal the importance of
religion to Indian politics. As Hindu nationalism
grew in popularity and strength it also became the
object of scholarly interest. In the post-colonial
era there has been a strong impetus to revise
established knowledge of Indian religion and society.
This book attempts to show how the revisionist
tendencies of the post-colonial era were reflected in
Western scholarship on Hindu nationalism in the
1990s. One scholarly work on Hindu nationalism from
the period is being analysed. Viewing that work in
light of broader scholarly discourses of the late
20th century, this book addresses topics like
orientalism, essentialism, social constructionism,
and modernity. The book brings about a discussion of
scholarly trends prevalent in the late 20th century
and the implications of these trends for the study of
religion. The book should be of interest to scholars,
students, and others who are engaged in studies of
contemporary India or in studies of religion.
