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.

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.
