Hindu cultural nationalism has grown prodigiously from a dormant and apparently minor communal presence to a vast movement in the country within a short span of time. It is best manifested in the rise of the Hindu right-wing political party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in post-modern Indian political scenario.

This study is an expose of the worldviews, identities and strategies of five leading political leaders in the BJP, namely, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Lal Krishna Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Arun Shourie and Narendra Modi, who have left a mark on India’s history and politics through their adherence to Hindu cultural nationalism, politicisation of Hindu religion and communalist activities. The study also answers such questions as What is the BJP? What are its hidden agendas? What is its ultimate aim? Who really controls this party? What are the real identities and worldviews of its outstanding leaders?

This study will be of particular interest to political philosophers, philosophers of religion and other scholars.

J. Kuruvachira is a senior lecturer in Philosophy of Religion, Phenomenology of Religion and Indian Culture at the Salesian College of Higher Education, Dimpaur, Nagaland, affiliated to the Nagaland University. Besides three books, there are also several scholarly articles on the theme of religious fundamentalism and related topics to his credit.
