๐ About the Book
The political landscape of Dalits in India has become a complex analytical puzzle. "Maya, Modi, Azad: Dalit Politics in the Time of Hindutva" offers a richly researched and insightful exploration of this intricate scenario, particularly focusing on Uttar Pradesh.
Key Themes Explored:
- Decline of Identity Politics: The book observes the decline of the Bahujan Samaj Party and identity politics.
- Dalits' Shift Towards BJP: It delves into the phenomenon of a section of Dalits aligning with the Bharatiya Janata Party and its redefined disadvantaged Hindutva.
- Protests and Right-Wing Hegemony: The emergence of protests by new Dalit organizations against atrocities and right-wing hegemony is analyzed.
- Contrasting Trends: Dalit politics is characterized by two contrasting trends - political protest against, and electoral preference for, the right wing.
๐ Authors' Analysis
Sudha Pai and Sajjan Kumar provide astute and insightful analysis of the triangular contestation in Uttar Pradesh. The state plays a pivotal role as it has been shaped by Mayawati, Narendra Modi, and a new Dalit leader, Chandrashekhar Azad. This analysis is crucial for understanding not only Dalit politics but also democratic politics in India, especially as the nation approaches a potentially divisive general election in 2024.
