This dissertation looks at factors behind the rise of Hindu nationalism in India and at the changes that take place in culture and civil society before the movement can gain political power. It is an ethnographic study of a popular, right-wing movement and documents the progress of the Hindu right through the lives of its actors and the experience of the victims of anti-minority violence. It focuses on the state of Rajasthan, which does not have a history of Hindu nationalism; and is based on fieldwork conducted in "social welfare" projects run by Hindu nationalist organizations in tribal districts in the state and in urban slums in Jaipur, the state capital. It also tracks the anti-minority violence occurring in different parts of the state between 1990 and 1992, based on interviews with survivors and relief workers, the hearings of the Inquiry Commission investigating the events of the 1990 "riots" in Jaipur, and on personal experience of relief work carried out in the wake of the anti-Muslim riots of 1992. It attempts to understand the success of Hindu nationalism through its appeal beyond dominant groups to disprivileged and marginalized social groups, such as tribals, the urban poor, women, dalits, trade unions etc. It views the ideology of Hindutva ("Hinduness") as a form of symbolic capital, which is accepted by subordinated groups as a means of advancing their claims to a higher status within a system which disprivileges them in very comprehensive ways. It examines the patterns of violence in Jaipur in 1990 and 1992, and argues that while the conditions of this violence are made possible by the development of Indian capitalism within the globalized economy, the violence follows not a political or economic but a cultural logic.
