M. K. Raghvendra, "The Hindu Nation: A Reconciliation with Modernity" (Bloomsbury, 2021)

New Books in South Asian Studies - A podcast by Marshall Poe

In The Hindu Nation: A Reconciliation with Modernity (Bloomsbury, 2021), M. K. Raghavendra examines what being a Hindu means and asks whether its practices are reconcilable with global modernity and compatible with justice and egalitarianism. While examining the obstacles a modern Hindu nation faces, including the fixed ways of a large public, this extensively researched book also suggests measures to make India successful as a global power and Hinduism widely respected.
