About The Book:
In September 2003, Ariel Sharon became the first Israeli Prime Minister to step on Indian soil. Hindutva and Sharonism embraced each other, and these two Asian right-wing ideologies hoped to form some sort of entente against 'Islamic terrorism' with the blessings of George W. Bush's evangelical imperialism. Namaste Sharon, said India's Prime Minister, but what does the rest of the country say?
Why did Sharon come to India?
What is the ideological affinity between Sharonism and Hindutva?
Why did India recognise and actively encourage a relationship with Israel in 1991?
What is the relationship between Advani's 'hot pursuit' and Sharon's 'targetted assassinations'?
What are the military and arms ties between India and Israel?
What is 'interoperability'?
What are the US interests in the rapprochement between Sharon's Israel and Advani's India?
Why does the US finance Israel's depredations?
Why do Hindutva NRIs believe that they must emulate the 'Jewish Lobby'?
Political commentator Vijay Prashad unmasks the nefarious agenda whereby the evangelical imperialism of the Bush administration, the predatory agenda of the Sharonists and the vainglory of Hindutva come together. |
