Abstract

This essay reviews Anustup Basu's book Hindutva as Political Monotheism (2020) in the context of current debates over Hindu political theology after the Bharatiya Janata Party's electoral wins of 2014 and 2018. The book charts the consolidation of Hinduism as a monotheistic imperative ever since its inception in the second decade of the nineteenth century, and its axiomatic place in present-day masculinist majoritarian India—“Modi's India.” This review places the book's historical reading of political Hinduism and its arguments on an informatic Hindutva mediascape (Hindutva 2.0) alongside recent books with similar ambitions.

印度教规范语的形成

本文在2014年和2018年印度人民党赢得选举后，在当前关于印度教政治神学的辩论背景下，回顾了阿努斯图普·巴苏的《作为政治一神论的印度教》（2020）一书。这本书描绘了印度教自19世纪第二个十年成立以来作为一神教的必然要求的巩固，以及它在当今男性主义占多数的印度——“莫迪的印度”中的公理地位。“这篇评论将这本书对政治印度教及其论点的历史解读放在了一个非信息的印度教媒体景观上（印度教2.0），以及最近出版的具有类似抱负的书籍。
