Religion and nationalism politics of BJP - 2004 - p.1064-070. - 6 Mar

While claiming full respect for the political and civil rights of all citizens, the BJP has in its political practice throughout the years demonstrated that its version of Hindu nationalism often clashes with generally acknowledged features of Indian democracy, especially minority rights. This essay analyses the ideology of the BJP relating it to a general theoretical discourse on nationalism and also to the contemporary debate on citizenship within political theory. - Reproduced.
