Abstract
As I observed in The Fiction of Nationality in an Era of Transnationalism, the BJP’s project of “constructing the history” of India “involves selective appropriation of past and present histories and an abrogation of major part of those histories. … In this nationalist project, one of the forms that the nullification of past and present histories takes is the subjection of religious minorities to a centralized and authoritarian state buttressed by nostalgia of a ‘glorious past’” (Khan 3).
