This book presents an innovative approach to gender, nationalism, and the relations between them and analyses the broader social base of Hindu nationalist organisation to understand the growth of 'Hindutva', or Hindu nationalism, in India. Arguing that Hindu nationalist thought and predilections emerge out of, and in turn feed, pre-existing gendered tendencies, the author presents a new concept 'masculine hegemony', specifically Brahmanical masculine hegemony. The book offers a historical overview of the processes that converge in the making of the identity 'Hindu', in the making of the religion 'Hinduism', and in the shaping of the movement known as 'Hindutva'. The impact of colonialism, social reform, and caste movements are explored, as well as the role of key figures such as Mohandas Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and Narendra Modi. The book sheds light on the close, yet uneasy, relations that Hindu nationalist thought and practice has with conceptions of 'modernity', 'development' and women's movements, and politics and the future of Hindu nationalism in India. A new approach to the study of Hindu nationalism, this book offers a theoretically innovative understanding of Indian history and socio-politics. It will be of interest to academics working in the field of Gender studies and Asian Studies, in particular South Asian history and politics. | Gender And Hindu Nationalism by Prem Kumar Vijayan, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
