"In the middle of India lies a vast land peopled with one of the country's largest tribal populations. Considered as the original inhabitants of this land, with a culture that traces back to pre-Aryan days, the tribals of Madhya Pradesh are as varied as they are vital. Living side by side with their Hindu and Muslim neighbours they have simultaneously managed to enrich and keep separate their cultural identity from theirs." "This book brings to you, for the first time, the exciting world of Madhya Pradesh's many tribes. Interwoven with their myths and legends, and illustrated with stunning colour visuals and with line drawings, here are the textiles and the tattoos, the stonework and the carvings, the totems and the ritual terracottas of the many tribes explained by scholars whose work has led them to spend half a life time with these people."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Indeed, The Electoral Success Of The Hindu Nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (Bjp) Has Proven Beyond Doubt That These Forces Now Pose A Significant Threat To India S Secular Character. In A Historically Rich, Detailed Account Of The Hindu Nationalist Movement In India Since The 1920S, Christopher Jaffrelot Explores How Rapid Changes In The Political, Social, And Economic Climate Have Made India Fertile Soil For The Growth Of The Primary Arm Of Hindu Nationalism, A Paramilitary-Style Group Known As The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (Rss), Together With Its Political Offshoots. He Shows How The Hindu Movement Uses Religion To Enter The Political Sphere, And Argues That The Ideology They Speak For Has Less To Do With Hindu Philosophy Than With Ethnic Nationalism The Hindu Nationalist Movement And Indian Politics Makes A Major Contribution To The Study Of The Genesis And Development Of Religious Nationalism, And Is Essential Reading For Anyone Who Seeks To Comprehend The Spread Of Endemic Conflict.
