摘要

摘要：本文将印度纳伦德拉-莫迪领导下的印度教民族主义的政治和社会动态与美国吉姆-克罗时代（约1880年至1965年）的种族隔离政策相提并论。与吉姆-克罗时代美国黑人因种族原因被边缘化一样，印度教民族主义也旨在因宗教原因边缘化印度穆斯林。与吉姆-克罗南方时期类似的方法--包括排斥性法律、种族隔离和私刑暴力--现在正在印度被用来制服穆斯林。这些行为违背了印度 1950 年宪法确立的平等原则。正如在吉姆-克罗（Jim Crow）南方一样，印度的司法机构在发挥其作为自由宪政保障者的指定作用方面被证明行动迟缓。自由宪政民主的朋友们最好不要指望法官来挽救局面。归根结底，只有选民才能决定阻止印度教民族主义，否则就会为其最后的发展埋下伏笔。

Hindu Nationalism and the New Jim Crow

Abstract: This essay draws a parallel between the political and social dynamics of Hindu nationalism in India under Narendra Modi and the policies of racial segregation of the Jim Crow era in the United States (from approximately 1880 to 1965). As with the marginalization of black Americans based on race during Jim Crow, Hindu nationalism aims to marginalize Muslim Indians based on religion. Methods similar to those used in the Jim Crow South—including exclusionary laws, segregation, and vigilante violence—are now being deployed in India to subdue Muslims. Such actions go against the principles of equality established by India's 1950 Constitution. As in the Jim Crow South, the judiciary in India has proven slow to play its assigned role as guarantor of liberal constitutionalism. Friends of liberal, constitutional democracy will be wise not to count on judges to salvage the situation. In the end, only the voters can decide to stop Hindu nationalism, or else underwrite its final advance.
