Gaining Traction

Résumé fourni par la source

India’s unfolding present is characterised by leniency towards the majority of Hindu religious groups’ sentiments, which are apparent in the country’s Central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Even though the Prime minister himself has been portrayed as the 11th avatar of Vishnu, and many of the enigmas around him are often seen, praised, and often critiqued; one has ignored the slow and steady rise of prominence of the Hindu Sacred Scriptures in India. The paper endeavours to address this rise by analysing the role of sacred scriptures in bolstering nation states and proposes a frame work to understand the rise of a sacred scripture becoming a political scripture, through a comparative analysis of nineteenth century United Kingdom and twenty-first century India.
