Hindu Rashtra

by Ashutosh

"Riding the fabled Modi wave, the BJP and its allies won the 2014 general elections to form the government at the centre with a firmly stated agenda of development for all. While the supporters of the new government may have hoped for economic reforms and accelerated development, the past four and a half years have been rife with incidents of hate attacks, mob violence and an increasingly hostile attitude towards religious minorities. With questionable decisions like demonetisation still fresh in the minds of people, how is the BJP gearing up for the 2019 general elections? As the Hindutva hardliners continue their clamour for a Hindu Rashtra, is the ideology strong enough to withstand the increasing unrest and discontent of the common Indian? In this astutely observed and expertly narrated account of India s socio-political present Ashutosh employs his experience as a journalist as well as a politician to give us an insider s view of India s changing political terrain. Relying on research, observations and personal experience Hindu Rashtra takes a hard, realistic look at the political reality of India and what its future may hold."

Most of what he writes is already in public domain, but what he does is collate all of them, provide a structure and context and gives his own interpretation (which is very obvious to people like us who are opposed to the current regime). So it makes it read like a refresher which is okay. Everything under one roof kind of... A good companion to Shashi Tharoor's The Paradoxical Prime Minister.

Very helpful to get real insight about what is the political geography around us in India. Pushed me to read more about all those topics and chapters that the author covered in the book. #KnowyourBhakth
