Religion remains a crucial aspect of social and personal identity in India, shaping various groups, including political, occupational, and social ones. This book delves into the development of the modern Hindu and Sikh communities in north India, starting from the fifteenth century when the dominant bhakti tradition of Hinduism split into two currents: the saguni and the nirguni. The saguni current, led by Brahmins, has prevailed in most of north India and served as the ideological foundation of modern Hindu nationalism. Several chapters explore the rise of this religious and political movement, focusing on the role of devotion to Ram.
