Slouching Towards Ayodhya : From Congress to Hindutva in Indian Politics

Contents: Preface. 1. A field guide to rough beasts: the right politics to come. 2. Culturalism, Hindutva and the contemporary Bourgeoisie. 3. Hindutva\'s Gujarat: the image of India\'s future?

"The three essays in this volume, putting Hindutva in international, national and regional perspectives respectively, provide three successive pictures of Hindutva, each, as it were, closer up than the one before, each probing progressively deeper into its dynamics. They analyse the structural basis, historical roots and political entrenchment of Hindutva, and assess the size of the task before the forces who oppose it."
