Longkumer constructs a comprehensive understanding of Hindutva, an idea central to the establishment of a Hindu nation-state, by focusing on the Sangh Parivar's engagement with indigenous peoples in a region that has long resisted the \"idea of India.\" Contextualizing their activities as a Hindutva \"experiment\" within the broader Indian political and cultural landscape, he ultimately paints a unique picture of the country today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arkotong Longkumer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503613461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503613461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.10d","brand":"Arkotong Longkumer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065660420351,"sku":"9781503613461","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f95add63-e70d-47d1-86ad-4687a404a580.jpg?v=1768676436","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-greater-india-experiment-arkotong-longkumer-9781503613461","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
