Description

These essays focus on the role of fashionable critiques and smug dismissals of secularism and modernity, and the unqualified defense of so-called indigenous traditions in providing intellectual support for the discourse of Hindutva.

  1. Secularism, Anti-Secularism and “Theoretical Bubble-Blowing”
  2. Hindutva and the Mainstreaming of Bigotry
  3. The “Racialization” of Communal Identity
