Religious & nationalist political movements have often been interpreted as defensive reactions to rapid social change, situations of anomie or alienation. The spread of Hindu-nationalism & communal violence in India likewise have often been seen as reactions to modernization or globalization. However, the current increase of communal violence between Hindus & Muslims is related to the Hindu-nationalist project. This is not a defensive one but a proactive project that seeks to replace a republican concept of the body politic with a religiously coded majoritarianism. Violence, organized by religious enemy images, communalized local social conflicts. Thereby diverse motives of discontent with the Indian state were integrated. Violence, moreover, opened spaces for action that conventional politics does not provide. The resolution of the conflict would be detrimental to its purpose for those who postulate its urgency as it serves as a perpetuum mobile of a movement, as a way of unifying a community, & of establishing a hierarchy of relevance whereby those who propagate the conflict also become the spokespeople for the community defined thereby. They have nothing to negotiate since the conflict is their aim. The claim that a religiously coded conflict cannot be negotiated is a means to perpetuate the conflict. 63 References.
