The Battle of Belonging

"The Battle of Belonging: On Nationalism, Patriotism and What it Means to be Indian" . In times when Hindutva nationalism, the softer synonym for saffron madness, is tearing apart the foundational, pluralistic norms of India, Shashi Tharoor offers a brilliant account of what it means to be patriotic in today's India. A timely reminder of the democratic ideals of India, the book is also a document of resistance against mythical pasts, demonisation of Muslims, authoritarianism and bigotry, that are so vehemently espoused and propagated by Modi-led Hindutva brigade.
