Hindutva International: The Globalization of Hindu Politics Outside India
Biswas Baral and Edward Anderson explore the rise of Hindu politics outside India, and how it is changing the dynamic of Hindu communities and diaspora worldwide.
This month's episode of Beyond the Indus explores the rise of Hindu politics outside India, and how it is changing the dynamic of Hindu communities and diaspora worldwide. We speak to Biswas Baral, editor of The Kathmandu Post, on the revival of Hindu politics in Nepal and its impact on the pro-monarchy restoration movement. Then Dr. Edward Anderson, author of the book 'Hindu Nationalism in the Indian Diaspora,' charts the origins and evolution of organized Hindutva in the United Kingdom, its links to the RSS and the impact of Narendra Modi's BJP on the Indian diaspora.
