Economic & Political WeeklySummary: The rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party in West Bengal, backed by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s grassroots organisations, demands a closer look at the expansion and contestation of the spread of Hindutva. Using longitudinal and participatory multisite ethnographic research in four villages from three gram panchayat areas of Bankura and Purulia since 2017, the paper explores three aspects of the spread of Hindutva: first, mechanisms of its spread; second, cultural contestation directed at Hindutva; and third, the separation of the BJP and RSS by the people in an attempt to resist Hindutva. – Reproduced
