Emergence and Consolidation of Rightist Politics in Karnataka
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Hindutva is a political strategy and it has nothing to do with Hinduism or the welfare or benefit of Hindu society. The BJP basically represents the right wing political forces in India. The RSS is the main brain behind all the social and political activities of BJP. The BJP has been improving its presence in Karnataka since 1990s by gaining access to social classes. The steady growth of Hindutva in coastal Karnataka has been accompanied by intense communal polarisation. The intellectuals and activists have called upon the liberal and democratic forces to putforth united struggle against social and economic inequities and injustices. The history of communalism needs to be written with a human touch in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts since the fundamentalists are suffering from the medieval mindset as far as communal relations are concerned. The people of Coastal Karnataka have a great social responsibility and political obligation of preventing the marginality of the weaker sections of society by developing meaningful and powerful social and political alliance for pursuing emancipatory and empowerment centered politics in the new millennium.
