While there exists a substantial body of scholarship on Hindu nationalism, its primary focus lies in the earlier era of insurgent movement politics during the 1980s and 1990s. In contrast, new Hindutva represents a governmental formation that aligns with broader global currents and enjoys widespread acceptance within the mainstream. To fully comprehend these emerging political dynamics and their potential implications for democratic futures, a fresh set of reflections is necessary. This book approaches contemporary Hindutva as an exemplar of democratic authoritarianism or authoritarian populism, a political system that simultaneously advances and undermines principles and practices of popular and constitutional democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContemporary Hindu nationalism, often referred to as new Hindutva, has emerged as a dominant ideological and political force in India.
