Past and Present of an Identity: A Study on Hindu Nationalism in India

This book examines the construction of Hindu nationalism and Hindu identity from a social-psychological perspective. More particularly, it attempts to provide a psychoanalytic account of factors that have aroused Hindu nationalism and the strategy Hindu nationalists have employed to bring about group cohesion since the 1980s, adding to existing studies that rely on social and political aspects. This book will be helpful for general readers who are interested in Hindu nationalism in India.
