Introduction The Invention of an Ethnic Nationalism he Hindu nationalist movement started to monopolize the front pages of Indian newspapers in the 1990s when the political T party that represented it in the political arena, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP—which translates roughly as Indian People’s Party), rose to power. From 2 seats in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Indian parliament, the BJP increased its tally to 88 in 1989, 120 in 1991, 161 in 1996—at which time it became the largest party in that assembly—and to 178 in 1998. At that point it was in a position to form a coalition government, an achievement it repeated after the 1999 mid-term elections. For the first time in Indian history, Hindu nationalism had managed to take over power. The BJP and its allies remained in office for five full years, until 2004. The general public discovered Hindu nationalism in operation over these years. But it had of course already been active in Indian politics and society for decades; in fact, this ism is one of the oldest ideological streams in India. It took concrete shape in the 1920s and even harks back to more nascent shapes in the nineteenth century. As a movement, too, Hindu nationalism is heir to a long tradition. Its main incarnation today, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS—or the National Volunteer Corps), was founded in 1925, soon after the first Indian communist party, and before the first Indian socialist party.

  • The Political Economy of Hindu Nationalism: from V.D. Savarkar to Narendra Modi
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive The Political Economy of Hindu Nationalism: From V.D. Savarkar to Narendra Modi Iwanek, Krzysztof Hankuk University of Foreign Studies 1 December 2014 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/63776/ MPRA Paper No. 63776, posted 24 Apr 2015 12:40 UTC 1 International Journal of Knowledge and Innovation in Business ISSN: 2332-3388 (print) December, 2014, Volume 2, Number 1, pp.1-38 2332-3396 (online) The Political Economy of Hindu Nationalism: From V.D. Savarkar to Narendra Modi Krzysztof Iwanek* Abstract In May 2014 India’s stock markets climbed to a record high, anticipating the victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party and its charismatic leader, Narendra Modi. However, the first economic decisions of Modi’s government did not incite a market revolution (though it has only been few months since its inception). This, however, is not surprising if one traces the Hindu nationalists’ changing views on economy throughout the last decades. The main inspirations of BJP’s ideology have been its mother-organization (RSS), and two earlier Hindu nationalist parties: Bharatiya Jana Sangh and Hindu Mahasabha (mostly through ideas of its leader, V.D. Savarkar). After briefly describing the views of all of these bodies, I will map out the main issues in the Hindu nationalist approach towards economy. Finally, I will try to show how the present government of Narendra Modi is trying to deal with these discrepancies. Keywords: political economy in India, Hindu nationalism, Hindutva, swadeshi, Bharatiya Janata Party, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Acknowledgements This work was supported by Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Research Fund of 2014.

  • Trade Union Strategy and Responses to Changes in Employment Structure and Forms in India
    India Trade Union Strategy and Responses to Changes in Employment Structure and Forms in India Manoranjan DHAL I. Abstract II. Introduction III. Trade unions in India IV. Trade union strategy V. Strategic choice of trade union in India VI. Structural reforms and response of trade union VII. Conclusion I. Abstract Decline in trade union membership is a global phenomenon, particularly in the era which is impacted by the free movement of production, capital and labour. However, unions have revitalized themselves by shading their evolutionary role of confrontation between capital and labour and adopting various strategies to survive and grow. The strategic response includes organizing new members, extending cooperation, focusing on up- skilling of their members, ensuring productivity and protecting consumer interest. Against this backdrop, this paper tries to evaluate the major trade unions of India and their response to the changes in the employment structure in India. II. Introduction The world is experiencing the fourth industrial relations which have a focus of creating the cyber physical system, a step ahead of the computer and automation. The industrial relations is in transition with the globalized economy, and free movement of capital and labour, profound changes in the production system, occupational and organizational structure and forms of labour institutions and approach of government. Thorough analysis of the secondary data, this paper tries to analyse whether trade unions in India are trying to seek new roles and methods of working in this changing economic, social and political conditions. Payne (2001) defines this modern environment as a new economic condition where globalized capitalist transformation has forced the trade unions to find common cause with the national government and national arms of the transnational firms to prevent shift of production from one country to other.

  • The Economic Mind of Narendra Modi
    OCTOBER 2019 ISSUE NO. 318 The Economic Mind of Narendra Modi HINDOL SENGUPTA ABSTRACT India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has always sought a methodology to create economic policy that goes beyond the communism-capitalism binary. While the BJP is assumed to be more free-market-friendly than its main rival, the Indian National Congress (INC), it is also true that the BJP government has usually greenlighted significant government expenditure in areas like infrastructure. The current BJP government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is building a model that marries some of the largest and most expensive government programmes ever rolled out in the history of independent India to deliver goods and services, with a simultaneous push to trigger mass entrepreneurship by introducing reforms such as major tax cuts. This brief examines the task for the BJP government. Attribution: Hindol Sengupta, “The Economic Mind of Narendra Modi”, ORF Issue Brief No. 318, October 2019, Observer Research Foundation.
