Abstract

This chapter analyses the intersection of Hindu nationalism with the construction of its feminine own and the Muslim other. Such construction of Hindu nationalism of themselves and the other views the country in opposition, mostly in binaries, which often make women a convenient locus of comparison across religions, time and space. The chapter also attempts to grapple with these questions as we trace the trajectory of the Hindu nationalist navigation with the Muslim feminine other through an understanding of religious personal law, understanding of dress and the Hindu nationalist demands for Uniform Civil Code.
