Uncover the forces shaping Indian politics with this critical analysis of Hindu nationalism and communal violence. Shani’s seminal work investigates the complex mobilization of Hindus across deep caste divides and the persuasive power of rhetoric against minorities. Discover how internal Hindu tensions and state policies, rather than solely Hindu-Muslim antagonisms, fueled communal rivalries. This book challenges existing scholarship on the rise of communalism in India, offering vital insights into caste dynamics and religious nationalism. Essential for students, scholars, and anyone seeking to understand modern India’s socio-political fabric.
