Hindu Nationalism in the Indian Diaspora

'This book is so extraordinary and important that it deserves a very wide readership. Its focus of Hindu nationalism in the diaspora, and the impact of the diaspora upon Hindutva in India, offers us an unrivalled perspective of the recent rise of a Hindu nationalism as a global project. It is crucial reading for those interested in Hindu nationalism's global footprint.' -- Joya Chatterji FBA, Professor of South Asian History, Trinity College, University of Cambridge, and author of 'Shadows At Noon: The South Asian Twentieth Century' 'A carefully researched, deep dive into the Hindutva in diaspora phenomenon. The focus of Anderson's excellent, historical-political work is Britain, but he tells a story that spans India, its diaspora, and globally networked nationalisms more broadly. This is a book for these times, and for times to come.' -- Nikita Sud, Professor of the Politics of Development, University of Oxford '[A] careful and illuminating study ... Drawing on detailed material from Britain, Anderson shows that Hindu nationalist activists are deeply involved in not only influencing Indian origin communities but also in influencing public opinion and electoral outcomes in the UK. A major contribution to our understanding of Hindu nationalism as a global project.' -- Thomas Blom Hansen, Reliance-Dhirubhai Ambani Professor, Stanford University
