May 2018.Pdf Founder: Vishva Nath (1917-2002) VOLUME 10 • ISSUE 5 Editor-in-Chief, Publisher & Printer: Paresh Nath MAY 2018 cover story / technology 30 The New Oil Aadhaar’s mixing of public risk and private profit aria thaker Aadhaar was originally pitched as a way to eliminate identity fraud in the delivery of public benefits. Today, its application far exceeds that purpose. Nandan Nilekani, the technology billionaire who was the prime mover behind Aadhaar, has said that “data has become the new oil,” and that “if we can restructure data to benefit every individual and every business, then we can lead to enormous amount of activity and economic growth.” He has also said, “In the West, the identity business was privatised. That’s a much more unsafe model than when a government issues an ID.” But while Aadhaar is presented as a way to mobilise Indians’ data for the public good, the lines between those who run Aadhaar and those who profit from it are blurry. perspectives 30 14 politics 14 Rocking the Boat The dilution of the SC/ST Act reignites Dalit anger against the BJP and RSS praveen donthi politics 20 Going South The deepening fault lines between southern states and the Indian union 62 nilakantan rs film excerpt 24 Love and Labour 62 Death of a Star October’s experiments with the Bollywood What Qandeel Baloch left behind romance genre sanam maher kamayani sharma MAY 2018 3 the lede 70 8 technology 8 Breaking the Code Two women from Afghanistan hold courses environment in computer programming 70 Eye of the Tiger ketaki latkar The conflict between humans and tigers in India politics senthil kumaran 10 Exit Talk Brexit negotiations are raising uncomfortable questions in Northern Ireland ross adkin books 96 religion 84 Swami Shashi The political Hinduism of Shashi Tharoor kancha ilaiah shepherd the bookshelf 94 84 showcase 96 editor’s pick 98 NOTE TO READERS: “A MARKETING INITIATIVE” ON PAGES 48-60 IS ADVERTISING CONTENT. 4 THE CARAVAN editor Anant Nath executive editor Vinod K Jose political editor Hartosh Singh Bal associate editor Roman Gautam books editor Anjum Hasan senior assistant editors contributors Martand Kaushik and Puja Sen copy editors Aria Thaker and Maya Palit THE LEDE 8 Ketaki Latkar is a Pune-based journalist who writes about art, culture and community. assistant editors (web) 10 Ross Adkin is a freelance writer based in Delhi.

About the Book Narendra Modi, the present Prime Minister of India, is a true blue RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or National Volunteers Organization) swayamsevak or volunteer. More importantly, he is a product of prachaarak system, a unique institution of RSS. More than his election campaigns, his conduct after becoming the Prime Minister really tells us how a responsible RSS worker and prachaarak responds to any responsibility he is entrusted with. His rise is also illustrative example of submission by author in this book that RSS has been able to design a system that can create ‘extraordinary achievers out of ordinary people’. When the first edition of Secrets of RSS was released, air was thick with motivated propaganda about ‘Saffron terror’ and RSS was the favourite whipping boy as the face of ‘Hindu fascism’. Now as the second edition is ready for release, environment has transformed radically.

  • From Secular Democracy to Hindu Rashtra Gita Sahgal*
    Feminist Dissent Hindutva Past and Present: From Secular Democracy to Hindu Rashtra Gita Sahgal* *Correspondence: secularspaces@ gmail.com Abstract This essay outlines the beginnings of Hindutva, a political movement aimed at establishing rule by the Hindu majority. It describes the origin myths of Aryan supremacy that Hindutva has developed, alongside the campaign to build a temple on the supposed birthplace of Ram, as well as the re-writing of history. These characteristics suggest that it is a far-right fundamentalist movement, in accordance with the definition of fundamentalism proposed by Feminist Dissent. Finally, it outlines Hindutva’s ‘re-imagining’ of Peer review: This article secularism and its violent campaigns against those it labels as ‘outsiders’ has been subject to a double blind peer review to its constructed imaginary of India. process Keywords: Hindutva, fundamentalism, secularism © Copyright: The Hindutva, the fundamentalist political movement of Hinduism, is also a Authors.

  • Assimilation in a Postcolonial Context: the Hindu Nationalist Discourse on Westernization
    Sylvie Guichard Assimilation in a Postcolonial Context: the Hindu Nationalist Discourse on Westernization Just a few days after the brutal rape of a 23 year-old woman in Delhi in December 2012, Mohan Bhagwat, chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the Hindu nationalist outfit at the heart of the Hindu nationalist move- ment declared: „Crimes against women happening in urban India are shame- ful. It is a dangerous trend. But such crimes won’t happen in Bharat or the rural areas of the country. You go to villages and forests of the country and there will be no such incidents of gangrape or sex crimes […]. Where ‚Bharat‘ becomes ‚India‘ with the influence of western culture, these types of incidents happen. The actual Indian values and culture should be established at every stratum of society where women are treated as ‚mother‘.“1 We see here a central theme of the Hindu nationalist discourse: a traditional Bharat (the Sanskrit name for the Indian subcontinent), a Hindu India, en- dangered by westernization and opposed to an already westernized India. This chapter explores this discourse on westernization: What does it mean for the Hindu nationalist movement? How does this movement speaks about west- ernization? And how has this discourse developed over time? The argument put forth has three parts (corresponding to the three sections of this chapter). We will see first that westernization can be considered as a form of feared or felt assimilation to a dominant, hegemonic, non-national cul- ture, or maybe, rather, to an imagined Western way of life (what some authors have called Occidentalism2); second that a form of chosen westernization is practiced in the Hindu nationalist movement as a strategy of „resistance by imitation“ in parallel with a discourse of „feared assimilation“; and third that when this discourse is applied to women and sexuality, it offers a meeting 1 Hindustan Times, „Rapes occur in ‚India‘, not in ‚Bharat‘: RSS chief“, 4 January 2013.

    ‘A battle between Hindutva and Hinduism is comingʼ | The Indian Express 8/28/18, 1217 PM ‘A battle between Hindutva and Hinduism is coming’ In a wide-ranging conversation, Walter Andersen speaks of the changing nature of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, how it was influenced by its different sarsangchalaks and the challenges that lie ahead of the organisation Walter Andersen is on the faculty of the Johns Hopkins University, Washington, and Tongji University, Shanghai. Walter Andersen is, perhaps, the only scholar to have observed, or studied, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for nearly five decades. In intellectual circles, it is normally believed that as an organisation, the RSS is https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/books/a-battle-between-hindutva-and-hinduism-is-coming-walter-andersen-rss-5301109/ Page 1 of 14 ‘A battle between Hindutva and Hinduism is comingʼ | The Indian Express 8/28/18, 1217 PM impervious and impenetrable. Its functioning is not available for scholarly scrutiny, unless one happens to be an insider or a firm sympathiser. That is why the publication of The RSS: A View to the Inside, a new book Andersen has co-written with Sridhar Damle, is a true intellectual event (The duo had also produced a book, Brotherhood in Saffron, three decades back). Andersen is on the faculty of the Johns Hopkins University, Washington, and Tongji University, Shanghai, and before that, he was a leading South Asia specialist of the US State Department for over two decades. At a Gurgaon hotel where he is staying, he recently spoke with Ashutosh Varshney, professor of Political Science, Brown University and contributing editor, The Indian Express.

  • 1 Transnational Hindutva Networks in United States 1 Over the Last
    Transnational Hindutva Networks in United States 1 Over the last several decades, a transnational network of American groups affiliated with Hindu nationalist organizations has embedded itself in the Indian diaspora in the United States.2 This network deserves special attention in the context of the recent debate around citizenship laws in India that target religious minority groups, specifically Muslims.3 The National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the Constitution Amendment Act (CAA) and the protest against it cannot be understood in isolation from the growing prominence of the Hindutva ideology in India. Through the ideological lens of Hindutva, India is an aspiring Hindu state, which would include the Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs as organically deriving from India, but not Muslims, because Islam is characterized as an alien and invading religion. The citizenship laws also assert that all non-Muslims excluded in the nationwide National Register of Citizens (NRC) would re-qualify for citizenship via Constitution Amendment Act (CAA), while the Muslims living in India for generations would not. Instead, the Indian Muslims could be subject to severe punitive consequences including “statelessness, deportation, or prolonged detention”.4 Under such circumstances, and in the context of the riots in North East Delhi that experts have categorized as pogrom against Muslims5, the purpose of this testimony is two fold. First, it argues that it is unlikely that transnational Hindu nationalist network6 based in the United States is immune to Hindutva, the ethnonational exclusionary political philosophy propagated in India by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the India-based Hindu nationalist paramilitary organization founded in 1925.7 Reference to 1 This testimony is written by a scholar of South Asia.

The vague but exhilarating promise of good times was not only translated into catchy campaign slogans but also acquired its own fast-circulating hashtags, domain names, and strong everyday presence on social media.

The newly crafted Brand Modi, the natural inheritor and prime agent of 1990s Brand India, now works in tandem in anticipation of the long awaited, and ever elusive, transformative epochal threshold of good times ahead.
