Decoding RSS's idea of nationalism and Hindu Rashtra: Prof Vinay Lal Interview | The Federal

In this episode of RSS @ 100, Professor Vinay Lal breaks down the idea of nationalism in the context of the RSS, tracing its roots to the modern nation-state system and contrasting it with India’s deeper civilisational identity. He explains how terms like ‘anti-national’ are used in political discourse and questions whether cultural nationalism alone defines the nation today. The discussion explores the concept of Hindu Rashtra, Savarkar’s definition of identity, and the complexities surrounding religion, the Constitution, and national symbols. With sharp historical insights, this conversation challenges widely-held assumptions about nationalism in India.
