The issues of today are the issues of yesterday. There have been many factors playing out for the longest time in India that caused a discriminatory attitude amongst many Indians—issues that continue to be biased towards Hindus and prejudiced against Muslims. Moreover, the staunch idea of Hindutva fuelled this issue further with its supporters in many political leagues. In a nation as diverse as India, can political prejudice towards one demographic be good for the nation?
In Redeeming the Republic, Ramachandra Guha discusses various factors that have been responsible for the continued disparity of the state of things. Delving deep into the ideology of Hindutva bigotry, he gives frank opinions on whether this would be beneficial for a country like India to still hold on to such regressive notions. This modern-day read highlights how the country is still under the influence of bygone ideologies and where this is likely to take the country.
