By tracing the genealogy of the ruling and one of the two largest political parties in the country – Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), its ideological and organisational ancestry to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), its proto-formations; its previous stints into power under Atal Bihari Vajpayee, especially during his third term as Prime Minister (1999-2004) and by focusing on the incumbent Narendra Modi regime (since 2014), the course will study various moments and stations of de-secularization through the State policies and by some other aggressive ideological manoeuvrings.
State of religious minorities, especially othering and minoritization of the Indian Muslims, will form the vital point in the discussion.
Taking insight from political sociology, social psychology, history and political science and weaving it around the concepts and issues of ideology, revivalism, nationalism, patriotism, loyalty, belongingness, identity politics and ‘vote-bank politics’, we will have a look at the political cultural of the present-day India.
