Description
“Hindutva in the Indian Freedom struggle is a bold re-examination of one of the most debated questions in modern Indian history: Was the struggle for India’s independence shaped by only one political tradition, or were there other equally influential streams that have been neglected over time?
Challenging the idea that freedom was achieved through a single ideological stream, the book highlights how concepts often associated with modern Hindutva were already present in the writings and speeches of several prominent nationalist leaders.
Long before Hindutva emerged as a formal political ideology, leaders such as Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lala Lajpat Rai, and Madan Mohan Malaviya emphasised the importance of Bharat’s Hindu heritage.
