Hindus And Others by Gyanendra Pandey A discussion on Hinduism must necessarily ask the question, who is a Hindu? What does it mean to be a Hindu? Several people have asked this question with reference to theological position and ritual practice. It is asked here with reference to political practice in India over the last hundred years or so. The immediate context for this enquiry is of course provided by the political developments of the 1980s, marked as these were by renewed and aggressive demands for a recognition of what are called Hindu rights and the Hindu basis of Indian nationhood. It needs to be asked how the category of the Hindu is constructed by the votaries of Hindu nationhood, who is included among the elect and who is excluded, and what is meant when so-called Hindu leaders and writers speak about Hindu interests. This paper constitutes a preliminary attempt at examining some of these questions. The book is in a good condition with some some creases and scratches on the front cover. There is an inscription of a name on the first page.
