Lord 'Rama' and the Hindutva Politics in India
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
The ideology of 'Hindutva' is an integral part of Indian politics. Discussion of the 'Hindu nationalist politics' in India has become more prevalent in recent times, focusing on different issues. Many new aspects of Hindutva politics has emerged. Especially, after the establishment of the Bharatiya Janata Party BJP led National Democratic Alliance NDA government of India in 2014, the Hindutva politics gained new stimulation. Lord Rama is very crucial in Hindutva politics. Different right wing Hindu nationalist political parties and organizations have repeatedly used Lord Rama as their political weapon to incite Hindu sentiment and to maintain their vote bank. Initially, 'Ram Janmabhoomi Movement,' 'Ram Rath Yatra,' and 'Demolition of the Babri Masjid,' these three events were discussed to understand how Lord Rama is being used in the first phase of Hindu nationalist politics. However, the latter part of this topic focuses on two significant phenomena of recent Hindutva politics. Firstly, it has been discussed how a religious slogan like 'Jai Shri Ram' becomes an important political slogan. Secondly, it has been highlighted how the Rama Navami centric 'Festival Politics' has emerged in recent times. In this case, for the detailed analysis of these two issues, special attention has been given to the latest developments in the politics of West Bengal. Thus, throughout the discussion, it becomes clear that Lord Rama is intimately connected with the Hindu nationalist politics of India.
