The RSS
The RSS is the most influential cultural organization in India today, with affiliates in fields as varied as politics, education and trade. This book fundamentally addresses three key questions: Why has the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its affiliates expanded so rapidly over the past twenty-five years? How have they evolved in response to India's new socio-economic milieu? How does their rapid growth impact the country's politics and policy? With unprecedented access, Walter K.

Backed by deep research and case studies, this book explores the evolution of the Sangh into its present form, its relationship with the ruling party, the BJP, their overseas affiliates and so much more.

Nationalist Ideologies and the Production of National Cultures
This book uses the frame of "nationalist ideologies" to refer to sets of cultural meanings that are often labeled "nationalisms," "subnational identities," and "ethnic nationalisms."

This directs the reader to look at the different ways in which people conceive themselves or are conceived of by others and helps the reader investigate the processes by which these ideas develop, alter, and intergrade in real life.

India's Economic Transition
This reader, the third in the Critical Issues in Indian Politics series, discusses the politics and economics behind liberalization, and the impact of reforms on the political economy of India.
