Unpacking BJP’s Hegemony and the Need for a New Left Narrative in India | The Hindu Centre for Politics and Public Policy

Unpacking BJP’s Hegemony and the Need for a New Left Narrative in India | The Hindu Centre for Politics and Public Policy: "India under the Bharatiya Janata Party is facing a new hegemony of the Right, which is attempting to replace a Left-leaning dominant narrative. What is being contested in this ideological sparring is the manner in which India was conceived and shaped by its founders.
In this article, Anup Kumar, Associate Professor in Communication, Cleveland State University, U.S., draws on Stuart Hall’s famous explication of Thatcherism to understand Modi-ism. Hall’s essay was simultaneously an explication of a political conjuncture as a crisis, and a call for action. Hall called for forging of a new left modernity in the face of authoritarian populism. This article argues that that in this political conjuncture dominated by the Right, as represented by hegemonic articulation of Modi-ism, India needs a new Left politics that can foster a counter-hegemony of its own. It suggests that way forward is an alternative vision of progressive nationalism."

Tweedledee, tweedledum - Christophe Jaffrelot & Gilles Verniers.

Tweedledee, tweedledum | The Indian Express: "Vaghela’s trajectory is revealing of the traditional affinities between the Congress and Hindu nationalism in Gujarat. K.M. Munshi, a lieutenant of Vallabhbhai Patel, who had himself sympathised with the RSS before Gandhi’s assassination, joined the Vishva Hindu Parishad the year it was founded in 1964. Gulzarilal Nanda, who established a personal equation with RSS leaders as early as the 1960s, did the same in 1982. And of course, Gujarat was the stronghold of Morarji Desai’s Congress(O) which joined hands in a Grand Alliance with the Jana Sangh in 1971."
