Globalization and religious nationalism in India

"This book explores the relationship between globalization, security and religious nationalism in India. It argues that globalization has made individuals and groups more ontologically insecure and existentially uncertain - an uncertainty many people try to reduce by searching for new secure self-identities. In this war of emotions, paramount figures are seeking to rally people around simple, rather than complex, causes. Religion and nationalism are two such causes that are more likely than other identity constructions to provide answers to those in need, due to their ability to convey a picture of security, inclusion, stability and simple answers."--Jacket.
