"Modi's India: Hindu Nationalism and the Rise of Ethnic Democracy" by Christophe Jaffrelot, published by Context, provides a comprehensive and insightful account of the political landscape in India under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Key Highlights:
1. **Hindu Nationalism and National-Populism**: The book examines how Hindu nationalism has been combined with national-populism in Indian politics, particularly under the leadership of Narendra Modi. It explores how this combination has had a significant impact on Indian elections and politics.
2. **Narendra Modi's Leadership**: Christophe Jaffrelot analyzes Narendra Modi's leadership style, which includes a promise of development alongside a polarization of the electorate along ethno-religious lines. The book sheds light on Modi's personalized political approach.
3. **Ethnic Democracy**: The author argues that Modi's government has steered India toward a form of ethnic democracy, where the majoritarian community is equated with the nation, while minorities, such as Muslims and Christians, are often marginalized and targeted by vigilante groups.
4. **Authoritarian Features**: The book discusses how the Indian political system has exhibited authoritarian features under Modi's leadership, centralizing power at the expense of federalism and weakening key institutions that serve as checks and balances.
5. **Social and Political Impact**: Jaffrelot provides insights into the social and political consequences of these changes in Indian politics, including attacks against secularists, intellectuals, universities, and NGOs.
6. **Original Interviews**: The author draws on original interviews conducted across India to provide a nuanced and in-depth analysis of the political dynamics in the country.
"Modi's India" offers a critical examination of how India's political landscape has transformed over the past two decades and the implications of this transformation for the world's largest democracy. It is a valuable resource for those interested in Indian politics, nationalism, and democracy.
