This volume investigates the mechanisms through which Hindu nationalism has transformed India's democratic framework into a majoritarian state. The editors, Angana P. Chatterji, Christophe Jaffrelot, and Thomas Blom Hansen, have assembled a collection of essays from prominent scholars to analyze the shift toward an ethno-state. The work argues that the current political climate, characterized by the rise of the BJP and the influence of the RSS, has fundamentally altered the relationship between the state, the rule of law, and minority populations.
