Fascism is not dead: violence of Hindu nationalism in India and the possibilities of resistance
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.
