Abstract
The demolition of the Babri Mosque in Ayodhya on 6 December 1992 and the subsequent explosion of anti-Muslim pogroms all over India have highlighted the very real possibility of a right-wing takeover of the Indian state in the name of the Hindutva (Hindu nationalist) movement. Any such transition would involve the redefinition of the state as Hindu rather than as secular or multicultural. It would also initiate a shift of state policies in a considerably more authoritarian, centralized, and militaristic direction than they are at the present moment.
