When Narendra Modi was elected Prime Minister of India in 2014, he promised to push through key reforms and bring about the massive economic development needed for the “world’s largest democracy” to win its place among global superpowers. With over 1.3 billion citizens, India is soon to become the world’s most populous country, and more than one quarter of the people joining global workforce during the next decade will be Indian. The poorest of the world’s 20 largest economies, India’s potential for catch-up growth is enormous. And so are the limits and contradictions India must overcome for Modi’s vision to gain momentum. What has his government achieved so far? How likely is Modi’s “Minimum government, maximum governance” strategy to deliver the expected outcomes? Is India, often described as a “reluctant superpower”, now closer to becoming a regional leader? In a crucial year for local elections, and with the Prime Minister ready to run for a second term in 2019, this volume investigates the economic, political and diplomatic trajectories of Modi’s India in its quest for a global role.

A discourse on the goals set by Prime Minister Modi to guide India's foreign policy In India, foreign policymaking has been based in the Prime Minister's Office because of the institutionalization of the foreign policy structure since Independence. This book highlights that in the past three decades, due to the constraints of coalition politics, there has been little insight into India's foreign policy. The ruling government effectively reverted the locus of authority to the new prime minister and his team, thereby not just avoiding a wider contestation between competing paradigms but instituting a paradigm shift-a shift which is a response to previous policy anomalies and failures, and creating newly articulated goals in a short time.

En Inde comme dans bien d’autres pays, la nation ne se définit pas seulement sur le mode ouvert de la citoyenneté, mais aussi sur celui, fermé, de l’ethnicité. Le premier a longtemps été représenté par le parti du Congrès de Gandhi puis de Nehru, et le second par les nationalistes hindous, pour lesquels la communauté majoritaire, faite de fils du sol, incarne l’Inde éternelle, tandis que les chrétiens et les musulmans sont des pièces rapportées devant prêter allégeance aux symboles hindous pour être reconnus comme des Indiens à part entière.Né dans les années 1920, le nationalisme hindou n’a pris son essor que dans les années 1990 avant de conquérir le pouvoir en 2014. Ce tournant doit beaucoup au populisme de son leader, Narendra Modi, une personnalité atypique qui a d’abord gouverné la province du Gujarat – où il s’est imposé, suite au pogrom antimusulman de 2002, grâce à ses succès économiques et au soutien des milieux d’affaires , avant de conduire son parti, le BJP, à la victoire.En cinq ans, les nationalistes hindous ont changé la face de l’Inde. Non seulement ils ont mis au pas les tenants du sécularisme (universitaires, ONG…), mais ils se sont aussi attaqués aux chrétiens et aux musulmans au point de les marginaliser dans les assemblées nationales et régionales, et, surtout, de mettre en place une police culturelle. Ce dispositif, s’il ne s’est pas traduit par des réformes constitutionnelles, donne aujourd’hui naissance à une démocratie ethnique de fait.

A groundbreaking history of the political ideas that made modern IndiaViolent Fraternity in the Indian Age is a major history of the political thought that laid the foundations of modern India. Taking readers from the dawn of the twentieth century to the independence of India and formation of Pakistan in 1947, the book is a testament to the power of ideas to drive historical transformation.Shruti Kapila sheds new light on leading figures such as M. K. Gandhi, Muhammad Iqbal, B. R. Ambedkar, and Vinayak Savarkar, the founder of Hindutva, showing how they were innovative political thinkers as well as influential political actors. She also examines lesser-known figures who contributed to the making of a new canon of political thought, such as B. G. Tilak, considered by Lenin to be the "fountainhead of revolution in Asia," and Sardar Patel, India's first deputy prime minister. Kapila argues that it was in India that modern political languages were remade through a revolution that defied fidelity to any exclusive ideology. The book shows how the foundational questions of politics were addressed in the shadow of imperialism to create both a sovereign India and the world's first avowedly Muslim nation, Pakistan. Fraternity was lost only to be found again in violence as the Indian age signaled the emergence of intimate enmity.A compelling work of scholarship, Violent Fraternity in the Indian Age demonstrates why India, with its breathtaking scale and diversity, redefined the nature of political violence for the modern global era.
