Title: The emergence of Hindu nationalism in India
First published: 2000
Description: "John Zavos examines the emergence of Hindu nationalism as a political ideology. He focuses on various movements which, during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, sought to mobilize Hindus by presenting particular ideas of what it meant to be a Hindu. It was in these movements that the ideology of Hindu nationalism began to be articulated." "A good deal of work has examined the development of Hindu nationalism from the 1920s onwards. This book looks at the ideological developments that brought the movement to this point of expansion." "This book will be of interest to historians, political analysis, and all social scientists."--BOOK JACKET.
