SASC Special Lecture: India Before Modi How the BJP Came to Power
Narendra Modi has been a hundred years in the making, and this book provides the backstory. It begins with the creation of Hindu nationalism, moves on to the 1980 formation of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and ends with its first national administration, from 1998 to 2004. By revisiting these events, we can trace the Modi government’s current dominance of Indian politics all the way back to its origins.

The paper explores the ways women related to and appropriated the notion of popular authorization of the government in the run-up to, and during India’s first elections. It, thus, aims to shed light on the role of women in democratic state-building during the early days of the republic.
