| Zusammenfassung: | "Although ethnic and sectarian tensions have always been a feature of modern Indian history, the country was founded and governed in its first decades by a nationalist political movement - associated with the Indian National Congress -- that stressed the non-sectarian nature of Indian citizenship. Hindu nationalism, a contrary political force, was born in the 1920s but didn't take off politically until the 1990s. It finally secured national power in 2014 when a populist leader, Narendra Modi -- a former governor of the province of Gujarat -- leveraged a reputation for successful economic reform and popular resentment toward the country's Muslim minority to lead his Hindu nationalist party, the BJP, to national victory. In this book, Christophe Jaffrelot recounts how the Hindu nationalist movement under the leadership of Modi's BJP has deeply transformed the country. Jaffrelot's main argument is that the reign of Modi and his BJP has ushered India into a new type of regime - what he calls ethnic democracy. Modi's rule relies undeniably on popular consent. (In last month's Indian federal elections, Modi consolidated his 2014 win with a decisive electoral victory.) But under the BJP India has largely jettisoned the country's previous commitment to the preservation of the rights of religious and ethnic minorities. This book is based both on the author's long years of research in India and on recent extensive interviews conducted across the country with civil servants, government supporters, opponents of the BJP, and members of religious minorities. Because of the tense atmosphere of intimidation throughout the country, many of Jaffrelot's interlocuters refused to speak on the record; he has given them pseudonyms in this book. The book recounts how proponents of secularism and pluralism, including academics and NGO workers, have been brought to heel; how Christians and Muslims have been increasingly marginalized in national and regional elections; and how the Hindu nationalist government has fostered the development of a shadow "cultural police force" -- with formal and informal ties to the state -- |

Over the past two decades, thanks to Narendra Modi. Hindu nationalism has been coupled with a form of national-populism that has ensured its success at the polls, first in Gujarat and then in India at large. Modi managed to seduce a substantial number of citizens by promising them development and polarizing the elector ate along ethno-religious lines. Both facets of this national-populism found expression in a highly personalized political style as Modi re lated directly to the voters through all kinds of channels of communication in order to saturate the public space. Drawing on original interviews conducted across India. Christophe Jaffrelot shows how Modi's government has moved India toward a new form of democracy, an ethnic democracy that equates the majoritarian community with the nation and relegates Muslims and Chris tians to second-class citizens who are harassed by vigilante groups. He discusses how the pro motion of Hindu nationalism has resulted in attacks against secularists, intellectuals, uni versities. and NGOs. Jaffrelot explains how the political system of India has acquired authori tarian features for other reasons, too. Eager to govern not only in New Delhi, but also In the states, the government has centralized power at the expense of federalism and undermined institutions that were part of the checks and balances, including India's Supreme Court. Modi's India is a sobering account of how a once-vibrant democracy can go wrong when a government backed by popular consent sup presses dissent while growing increasingly intol erant of ethnic and
religious minorities. |

Hindu nationalism, a contrary political force, was born in the 1920s but didn't take off politically until the 1990s. It finally secured national power in 2014 when a populist leader, Narendra Modi -- a former governor of the province of Gujarat -- leveraged a reputation for successful economic reform and popular resentment toward the country's Muslim minority to lead his Hindu nationalist party, the BJP, to national victory. In this book, Christophe Jaffrelot recounts how the Hindu nationalist movement under the leadership of Modi's BJP has deeply transformed the country. Jaffrelot's main argument is that the reign of Modi and his BJP has ushered India into a new type of regime - what he calls ethnic democracy. Modi's rule relies undeniably on popular consent. (In last month's Indian federal elections, Modi consolidated his 2014 win with a decisive electoral victory.) But under the BJP India has largely jettisoned the country's previous commitment to the preservation of the rights of religious and ethnic minorities. This book is based both on the author's long years of research in India and on recent extensive interviews conducted across the country with civil servants, government supporters, opponents of the BJP, and members of religious minorities. Because of the tense atmosphere of intimidation throughout the country, many of Jaffrelot's interlocuters refused to speak on the record; he has given them pseudonyms in this book. The book recounts how proponents of secularism and pluralism, including academics and NGO workers, have been brought to heel; how Christians and Muslims have been increasingly marginalized in national and regional elections; and how the Hindu nationalist government has fostered the development of a shadow "cultural police force" -- with formal and informal ties to the state -- Modi, Narendra 1950- (DE-588)138922926 gnd rswk-swf Bharatiya Janata Party (DE-588)5026822-3 gnd rswk-swf Demokratie (DE-588)4011413-2 gnd rswk-swf Ethnische Identität (DE-588)4153096-2 gnd rswk-swf Nationalismus (DE-588)4041300-7 gnd rswk-swf Indien (DE-588)4026722-2 gnd rswk-swf Modī, Narendra / 1950- Hindutva Democracy / India / History / 21st century India / Politics and government / 21st century Democracy Politics and government India 2000-2099 History Modi, Narendra 1950- (DE-588)138922926 p Indien (DE-588)4026722-2 g Bharatiya Janata Party (DE-588)5026822-3 b Nationalismus (DE-588)4041300-7 s Ethnische Identität (DE-588)4153096-2 s Demokratie (DE-588)4011413-2 s DE-604 Schoch, Cynthia (DE-588)1159794308 trl Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 9780691223094 Digitalisierung UB Augsburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032924311&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung UB Augsburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032924311&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Klappentext |
