Overview
The book analyses the politics and socio-cultural forces in Gujarat over the last five decades. It examines the trajectory of Hindu nationalism, explores the catalytic factors behind its growth and shows how the middle class plays an important role in electoral politics in India. It argues that the elite of the middle class – who led the freedom movement and are at the forefront of all political parties in the post-independence era – in collusion with the upper class and classes control and manage the avenues of production of information and knowledge and also agencies for the dissemination of information media as well as the education system enabling Brahmanic hegemony. A comprehensive analysis of the state level political process of the growth of ethnic nationalism in India, the volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of politics, especially political sociology and South Asian studies.
