- Description
- The first few essays analyse the influence of key personalities such as Vivekananda, Aurobindo, and Dayanand Saraswati on the rise of ideas that later came to be known as Hindutva. The later essays in the volume address the public-private paradigm more directly as they look at 'feminist' movements associated with Hindutva and more contemporary Hindu reform movements. In conclusion, the essays demonstrate that while the exact connection between Hindutva and the religious reform movements remains uncertain, a specifically religious of Hindu nationalism actually grew out of the same intellectual climate as the secular freedom struggle.
