Hindu Rashtra: A Critique
The very concept of “unity in diversity” in India has become doubtful today owing to the activities of the BJP-RSS nexus. The Sangh Parivar is desperately trying to establish its all-encompassing hegemony in the society by tearing apart the secular fabric of the country. A corporate financed Hindu Rashtra is in the offing. In the backdrop of such an alarming situation, this edited volume of ten essays attempts to unravel the several aspects and true nature of this fascist project. The collection will make the reader confront with the unmistakable truth that “blindness cannot stop the deluge of destruction.”
