Description
Hindu Nationalism: A Reader is an extraordinarily well-researched, well-thought-out, and useful anthology. The selection of reading material is terrific. There is nothing of comparable scope available yet. -- Pratap Bhanu Mehta, author of "The Burden of Democracy" As the foremost expert on Hindu nationalism, Jaffrelot has employed his impressive knowledge to produce a comprehensive and well-organized volume that is likely to become the seminal sourcebook on the subject for many years to come. -- Thomas Blom Hansen, author of "The Saffron Wave: Democracy and Hindu Nationalism in Modern India"

Reviews
"No similar collection of primary materials exists, but now no other is necessary."--Brian K. Pennington, Religious Studies Review "Jaffrelot has given us a valuable reference tool. It is possibly one for those who already have some sense of what the significance of Hindu nationalism has been rather than for the absolute beginner. Its strength lies in the clarity of the trajectory it depicts."--Shabum Tejani, Culture and Religion
