Abstract

The rise of the BJP is usually credited for the shift towards the Hindutva politics in India, but other political parties are also not immune to using confession for electoral purposes. This article discusses how, despite living together for years, a large number of Hindus differently imagine the citizens belonging to the minority religious communities and vice versa. The article then examines the political events of the 1980s and analyses how they are linked with the contemporary social and political developments in India.

与众不同的想象：印度的少数群体与多数派政治

印度人民党的崛起通常被归功于印度教政治的转变，但其他政党也难免利用忏悔来达到选举目的。本文讨论了尽管印度教徒多年来生活在一起，但大量印度教徒如何以不同的方式想象属于少数宗教群体的公民，反之亦然。然后，文章研究了 20 世纪 80 年代的政治事件，并分析了这些事件与印度当代社会和政治发展之间的联系。

期刊介绍： SIP will publish research writings that seek to explain different aspects of Indian politics. The Journal adopts a multi-method approach and will publish articles based on primary data in the qualitative and quantitative traditions, archival research, interpretation of texts and documents, and secondary data. The Journal will cover a wide variety of sub-fields in politics, such as political ideas and thought in India, political institutions and processes, Indian democracy and politics in a comparative perspective particularly with reference to the global South and South Asia, India in world affairs, and public policies. While such a scope will make it accessible to a large number of readers, keeping India at the centre of the focus will make it target-specific.
