The Unholy Trinity

This book offers critical commentary and passionate analysis on the implications of Hindutva, capitalism, and imperialism for the everyday lives of working people and the planet. The emergence of the alliance between Hindutva politics and corporate capitalism during the latter half of the twentieth century significantly shaped society, state and governments aligning it with the demands of global capitalism and its imperialist hegemony. The collaboration and contestation between Hindutva, capitalism, imperialism, and other reactionary forces shape the nature of the state, government, culture, politics and society in India and beyond. The book provides an auto ethnographic and alternative analysis based on reflections on the realities of everyday lives and experiences of the past and present of this unholy trinity and its global implications.
