The God Market
By:Meera Nanda
Published on 2011 by NYU Press
Conventional wisdom says that integration into the global marketplace tends to weaken the power of traditional faith in developing countries. But, as Meera Nanda argues in this path-breaking book, this is hardly the case in today's India. Against expectations of growing secularism, India has instead seen a remarkable intertwining of Hinduism and neoliberal ideology, spurred on by a growing capitalist class. It is this |State-Temple-Corporate Complex,| she claims, that now wields decisive political and economic power, and provides ideological cover for the dismantling of the Nehru-era state-dominated economy. According to this new logic, India's rapid economic growth is attributable to a special |Hindu mind,| and it is what separates the nation's Hindu population from Muslims and others deemed to be |anti-modern.| As a result, Hindu institutions are replacing public ones, and the Hindu |revival| itself has become big business, a major source of capital accumulation. Nanda explores the roots of this development and its possible future, as well as the struggle for secularism and socialism in the world's second-most populous country.
