Hindu Revolution Hindu Nationalism and democracy examines the rise of the bharatiya janata party (BJP) as one of the dominant forces within indian politics. The ideology of the party is analyzed as a form of religious nationalism with possible strains in its relation to the religious minorifies of india. Hindu nationalism has been collectively referred to as the expression of social and political thought based on the native spiritual and cultural traditions of the indian subcontinent. Some scholars have argued that the use of the term Hindu nationalism to refer to hindu rastravada is a simplistic translation and is better described by the term hindu polity the native thought streams become highly relevant in indian history when they helped form a distinctive identity in relation to the Indian polity and provided a basis for questioning colonialism. They inspired the independence movements against the British raj based on armed struggle coercive politics and non-violent protests. They also influenced social reform movements and economic thinking in India. This book provides a viable alternative based upon the desired behaviors at individual and group levels. The Hindu way of life the book propounds gives prominence to culture and social relations rather than to economic and political behaviors.
