An Incessant Struggle for Being a Homogenized, Pasteurized, Essentialist and Standardized Akhanḍa Hindu Rāṣṭra: Bharatiya Janata Party

The paper titled “An Incessant Struggle for Being a Homogenized, Pasteurized, Essentialist and Standardized Akhanḍa Hindu Rāṣṭra: Bharatiya Janata Party” examines the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) efforts to establish a unified Hindu identity within India. It focuses on the contentious Ram Temple issue, highlighting the differing narratives between the BJP and Hindu saints. The authors argue that the term “Hindutva” encompasses a diverse range of beliefs, which complicates the BJP’s attempts to homogenize Hindu identity. The paper also critiques the influence of neoliberal economic policies in India, suggesting that since the early 1990s, successive governments, including the BJP, have adhered to models dictated by international financial institutions like the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and World Trade Organization. This adherence has led to increased conflicts and a regime of totalitarian control, necessitating suppression of dissent and perpetuating violence. In summary, the paper contends that the BJP’s pursuit of a standardized Hindu nation is challenged by the inherent diversity within Hinduism and is further complicated by the socio-economic impacts of neoliberal policies.
