OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Hindutva is a majoritarian nationalism in nominally secular India that aims to convert the ‘world’s largest democracy’ into a Hindu nation-state. Hindutva’s politics is based on representing itself as the defender of the Hindu majority which it paints as a victim of inimical forces of religious minorities (Muslims and Christians) and political opponents (communists and secularists). Arguing that contemporary Hindutva in India is a fascist form of nationalism based on exclusionary and genocidal desires, stereotypes, fear, insecurity, bigotry and violence, the talk will explore the (im)possibilities of resistance to it.
