A Quest for Identification of the Roots of Hindu Nationalism in Bengal

Dr. Soumitra Kumar Sinha

Abstract :

 This paper seek to explore the roots of Hindu nationalism from nineteenth century Bengal Renaissance and the subsequent nationalist movements. The unity in diversity of the Indian culture in the midst of multiplicity of religions, languages, ethnic races and cultures has given it an unique characteristic feature in the history of human civilizations; for which the anthropologists termed it as an unique cultural mosaic. But the emergence of the aggressive Hindu nationalism of the recent two decades has weakened the very foundation of secular Indian state. Here I shall try to confirm my discussion mainly on Bengal although the rest of India more or less followed the same path.
