OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

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.
