Bridging Neoliberalism and Hindu Nationalism

India will soon be the worlds most populated country and its political development will shape the world of the 21st century. Yet Hindu nationalism at the helm of contemporary Indian politics is not well understood outside of India, and its links to the global neoliberal trajectory have not been explored. Covering 30 years of Indian politics, this book shows for the first time the importance of education in propagating the acceptance of Hindu nationalism within a neolberal system, including the reframing of the concept of Indian citizenship. The first five years of Modi rule failed to bring about the development that had been promised and have seen Indias rapid change from a largely inclusive society to one where religious minorities are denied their basic rights.
