Hindu Nationalism and the Language of Politics in Late Colonial India by William Gould, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

William Gould explores what is arguably one of the most important and controversial themes in twentieth-century Indian history and politics: the nature of Hindu nationalism as an ideology and political language. Using an array of historical sources, he analyzes how it affected the secularist Congress in Uttar Pradesh on the eve of Independence, and how these ideologies fostered tensions between Hindus and Muslims, and the subsequent development of communal violence. This book is intended for students of colonial India as well as those interested in contemporary Indian politics. | Hindu Nationalism and the Language of Politics in Late Colonial India by William Gould, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
