Abstract
Hindu nationalism represents an ambitious attempt to create a subcontinental national identity based upon what is actually a highly pluralistic religious tradition. While Hindu nationalists have made striking political gains in parts of India, this article analyses the relative lack of success of their efforts in the state of Kerala. It argues that it is their circumscribed vision of Indian culture and society that inhibits the votaries of Hindu nationalism from coming to terms with the variety of distinctive political cultures found in India's regions. Their nationalism can sometimes appear exotic in its claim to be authentic.
