    4/16/2021 Hindutva’s Blood South Asia Multidisciplinary Academic Journal 24/25 | 2020 The Hindutva Turn: Authoritarianism and Resistance in India The Ideological Tenets of Hindutvaism Hindutva’s Blood D B J C https://doi.org/10.4000/samaj.6657 Abstract In this article we examine blood as a medium and metaphor for Hindutva’s political transactions. Specifically, we identify three ways in which blood operates in Hindutva thought and practice. First, it serves to create a spatial geographic whole – an original Hindu nation whose inhabitants share the same blood. Second, blood serves to mediate between the violent and non-violent aspects of Hindu nationalism, authorizing and reconciling present acts of violence with a supposed Hindu capacity for heroic restraint. And third, blood serves to establish a temporal continuum between a Hindutva past, present and future, writing Hindu nationalist thought and action backwards into Indian history, and forwards to threaten future bloodshed against non- adherents. In these three ways, Hindutva imaginations and extractions of blood work through each other. In present-day India, these three political manifestations of blood – as a marker of exclusion, as mediating non-violence, and as premonitory threat – have all appeared in the Citizenship Amendment Act controversy and around the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. As blood overflows through time and space, it threatens to erase difference and legitimize violence while further extending the ideology’s reach. Index terms Keywords: sacrifice, blood, Hindutva, Hindu nationalism Full text 1 Like many other nationalist movements, Hindu nationalism “understand[s] and order[s] the world through ‘cultural essentials’ of religion, blood, and other practices related to the body—food, marriage, death” (Hansen 1999:11).

    Maharashtra Din 1st May 1, 2021 Jawaharlal Nehru, Yashwantrao Chavan and Sri Prakasa unveiling a map of the new state of Maharashtra at Raj Bhavan, Mumbai, on 1 May 1960 Maharashtra is a state in the western region of India. It is India's second-most populous state and third-largest state by area, and includes the major cities of Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Aurangabad and Nashik. The region that comprises the state has a long history dating back to the 4th century BCE, although the present-day state was not established until 1960 CE. Maharashtra Day, commonly known as Maharashtra Din (Marathi: महाराष्ट्र दिन), is commemorating the formation of the state of Maharashtra from the division of the Bombay State on 1 May 1960. On this day, the existing state of Maharashtra was formed. The States Reorganisation Act, 1956, defined boundaries for states within India on the basis of languages. The then Bombay though had people speaking various languages like Marathi, Gujarati, kutchi and Konkani, which obviously did not work out. So the Sanyukt Maharastra Andolan started demanding a separate state. The protest continued till 1960 when the Bombay Reorganization Act was passed by India’s Parliament to divide the multilingual state of Bombay into Gujarat and Maharashtra, with Ahmedabad. The legislation came into effect on May 1, 1960. Maharashtra Day is commonly associated with parades and political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history and traditions of Maharashtra. It is celebrated to commemorate the creation of a Marathi speaking state of Maharashtra.
