"The legitimacy Hindutva has managed to garner is the most decisive
development in contemporary Indian politics. A marginal force until about
10 years ago, it is now in a position to dictate the political and
cultural agenda of the nation. Yet, the rise of Hindutva was neither
sudden nor spontaneous. It owes much to the slow transformation in social
consciousness as a result of sustained interventions in the cultural and
religious life of the people."
