{"product_id":"saffron-republic-thomas-blom-hansen-9781009100489","title":"Saffron Republic: Hindu Nationalism and State Power in India","description":"This volume examines the phenomenon of contemporary Hindu nationalism or 'new Hindutva' that is presently the dominant ideological and political-electoral formation in India. There is a rich body of work on Hindu nationalism, but its main focus is on an earlier moment of insurgent movement politics in the 1980s and 1990s. In contrast, new Hindutva is a governmental formation that converges with wider global currents and enjoys mainstream acceptance. To understand these new political forms and their implications for democratic futures, a fresh set of reflections is in order. This book approaches contemporary Hindutva as an example of a democratic authoritarianism or an authoritarian populism, a politics that simultaneously advances and violates ideas and practices of popular and constitutional democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Blom Hansen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009100483\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009100489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.30w x 1.02d","brand":"Thomas Blom Hansen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45476602249471,"sku":"9781009100489","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_949ef8e3-7555-449c-9a9c-cfde16f92e34.jpg?v=1715909846","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/saffron-republic-thomas-blom-hansen-9781009100489","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
