Born out of a mediation on the ideas of the nation state and nationalism, and what the new power structures and centres mean for the very idea of India, Hindutva or Hind Swaraj is a manifesto - written in the form of aphorisms, using shifting tones and styles to make a deep, elegant and heartfelt point about the human cost of radicalization. This last work of Jnanpith award winner and pre-eminent writer U.R Ananthamurthy is a creative response to the rise of Hindutva nationalism in India. Juxtaposting V.D Savarkar's idea of Hindutva with M.K Gandhi's concept of Hind Swaraj, the book examines the two directions that were open to India at the time of Independence.
