India, Modi and the rise of Hindu nationalism
With Delhi rocked by deadly protests
as Muslim and Hindu groups clash violently, Guardian writer Samanth Subramanian
looks at the rise of Hindu nationalism within India.
Narendra Modi has been grappling with continuing domestic unrest since his Hindu nationalist BJP government passed the CAA in December, which grants citizenship for refugees of every major south Asian religion except Muslims. In conjunction with a planned national register of citizens, it is feared the law will make India’s Muslim community aliens in their own country and undermine the secular foundations of the country by making religion the basis of citizenship.
