Beschreibung
The representation of the Muslims as threatening to India's body politic is central to the Hindu nationalist project of organising a political movement and normalising anti-minority violence. Adopting a critical ethnographic approach, this book identifies the poetics and politics of fear and violence engendered within Hindu nationalism. [Verlagsinformation]
