| Summary: | Zeitraum d. Einführung: 1500 v. Chr. - 1828 Schematically, the origins and development of ethnic movements in India have been approached in the main from two opposing theoretical positions: the 'primordialist' and the 'instrumentalist' one. The author suggests a third intermediate perspective on the basic of a case-study: the genesis and development of Hindu nationalism as an ideology. He discusses uses of 'strategic syncretism' by different Hindu organisations since 1828. (DÜI-Sen) |
