摘要

2014年,随着印度人民党(BJP)在全国范围内夺取政府权力,印度右翼运动得到了推动。和美国一样,印度右翼运动的基本特征之一是所谓的后真相。后者指的是出于意识形态和政治目的,故意制造和大规模传播明目张胆的谎言(或半真半假)。后真相状态具有重要的智力和政治意义。例如,由于右翼运动对没有任何客观基础的主张的承诺,它认为社会是根据主观标准(例如宗教)划分的群体。因此,它否认把社会看作阶级社会的客观基础。它同时也否认国家是阶级国家。后真理主义的一个直接政治含义是通过压制异议来积累谎言。然而,右翼运动,包括它的后真理主义,并不是悬在空中。它有坚实的政治经济基础。本文批判性地讨论了印度右翼运动的后真相特征,并解释了这背后是印度资本主义经济的整体特征。文章中更广泛的论点在印度以外具有更广泛的适用性。

Post-Truth Politics in India’s Right-Wing Ecosystem: An Extended Critical Commentary
ABSTRACT The right-wing movement in India received an impetus in 2014 with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), capturing governmental power at the national level. Among the fundamental traits of the right-wing movement in India, as in America, is what is called post-truth. The latter is a condition where blatant lies (or half-truths) are deliberately produced and spread on a massive scale, for an ideological and political purpose. The post-truth condition has important intellectual and political implications. For example, given its commitment to claims that are without any objective basis, the right-wing movement sees society as divided into groups on the basis of subjective criteria (e.g., religion). Thus it denies the objective basis for seeing a society as class-society. It also concomitantly denies the state as class-state. A directly political implication of post-truthism is the accumulation of lies by means of the suppression of dissent. The right-wing movement, including its post-truthism, does not hang in the air, however. It has a solid political-economic foundation. This article critically discusses the post-truth character of India’s right-wing movement, and explains how it is that the overall character of India’s capitalist economy is behind this. The broader arguments of the article have wider applicability beyond India.
