GLOBAL HINDUTVA IS OFTEN THE PRODUCT OF STRATEGIES OF DOMESTIC EXPANSION AND COORDINATION FROM INDIA

- HT Correspondent

NEW DELHI: How and why did Hindu nationalism become popular among the diaspora after India's independence in 1947? This is the central question of Hindu Nationalism in the Indian Diaspora: Transnational Politics and British Multiculturalism, the 2023 book by historian Edward Anderson.

The book explores the distinctive resonance Hindutva ideology has overseas, and the multiple ways in which the diaspora engages with British politics and society while sustaining connections back home in India.

Anderson spoke about his book on a recent episode of Grand Tamasha, a weekly podcast on Indian politics and policy co-produced by HT and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Anderson is an assistant professor of history at Northumbria University in Newcastle. His book was named by The Economist as one of the six books to read on the subject of "Hindutva".
