ePub Politicisation of Hindu Religion in Postmodern India: An Anatomy of the Worldviews; Identities and Strategies of Hindu Nationalists in Bharatiya Janata Party by J. Kuruvachira in History

Description

Hate crimes-violence aimed at individuals because they are members of a particular group-were once considered the rare illegal actions of a small but vocal assortment of extremists who thrived on hating minorities. No more. In this new book by two of the country's leading experts on hate crimes; published ten years after their classic book of the same name; these most-recognized authorities and media commentators reinterpret this scourge of our generation-hatred based on race; religion; sexual orientation; ethnicity; gender; and even citizenship. In the aftermath of the worst act of terrorism in this country's history-the bombing of the World Trade Center on September 11; 2001-the authors probe the causes and characteristics of such acts of hatred and; most vitally; their consequences for all of us.
