BJP and Hindu nationalism: centrist politics and majoritarian impulses / Palshikar, Suhas   Article
Palshikar, Suhas Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Will the BJP pursue its Hindutva ideology while in power or will it now gradually become a ‘centrist’ party? Responding to this question, the present paper argues that the possibility that it would transform into a centrist party is rather dim for four reasons: 1) the mixing of Hindutva identity with the development agenda during the national election campaign in 2014; 2) the mild and covert pursuit of Hindutva by both party and government; 3) the dynamic, but deep-rooted relationship between Hindutva and the BJP; and 4) most importantly, the slow and imperceptible shifting of the middle ground of public opinion in India in favour of majoritarian (and therefore pro-Hindutva) sentiment.

Can Modi deliver a new India? / Varadarajan, Siddharth   Article
Varadarajan, Siddharth Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract On the surface, Narendra Modi has had a dream run in his first year as India’s prime minister. In May 2014, his Hinduright Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 281 of the 543 seats in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of Parliament. This marked the first time since Rajiv Gandhi’s victory of 1984 that a party won a clear majority of its own and did not need coalition partners to form a government. After this triumph, Modi managed to install his trusted lieutenant, Amit Shah—who ran the interior ministry in Gujarat when Modi was chief minister of the state—as president of the BJP. Together with Shah, he has since gone on to win important state elections in Haryana, Maharashtra, and Jharkhand. In Jammu and Kashmir, the BJP did spectacularly well in the December 2014 elections and is now in government as part of the ruling coalition headed by the Peoples’ Democratic Party.

Leaving the Hindu far right / Pal, Felix; Chaudhary, Neha   Journal Article
Pal, Felix Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Why do people leave the world’s largest far-right organisation? In this article, we analyse six autobiographical defection accounts of ex-members of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the apex organisation of the Indian Hindu nationalist movement. Compiled here for the first time, an analysis of these accounts reveals that even the most disciplined and ideologically coherent far-right organisations suffer from internal organisational messiness and attrition. These accounts challenge the unique mythology that surrounds the RSS and gesture towards the methodological possibilities of discarding the ideology-driven analyses of the far right in favour of material analyses of the lives of far-right organisational members.

Pre-partitioned city? anti-colonial and communal mohallas in inter-war Delhi / Legg, Stephen   Journal Article
Legg, Stephen Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This paper explores the mohallas of Delhi, sub-communities within the city, and asks whether Delhi was pre-partitioning before August 1947. It suggests that the mohalla was a site of political mobilisation that was systematically used by the Congress from the Civil Disobedience movement of 1930 onwards. During the early 1940s, communal voluntary associations like the Muslim League’s National Guard and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh attempted to establish representatives and training practices within mohallas. The paper concludes that the mohalla provided a space and a scale at which to view communal violence afresh, as one of the many ‘spaces before Partition’ that were reshaping (in) the 1940s.
