'A timely and important book adding to our understanding of the complexities of the diasporic experience and its relationship to India' -- Kavita Puri, Writer and Broadcaster, BBC

'This book is so extraordinary and important that it deserves a very wide readership … An unrivalled perspective of the recent rise of a Hindu nationalism as a global project. It is crucial reading for those interested in Hindu nationalism’s global footprint' -- Joya Chatterji FBA, Professor of South Asian History, Trinity College, University of Cambridge, and author of Shadows At Noon: The South Asian Twentieth Century

‘A carefully researched, deep dive into the Hindutva in diaspora phenomenon. The focus of Anderson’s excellent, historical-political work is Britain, but he tells a story that spans India, its diaspora, and globally networked nationalisms more broadly. This is a book for these times, and for times to come.’ -- Nikita Sud, Professor of the Politics of Development, University of Oxford

‘[An] illuminating study … A major contribution to our understanding of Hindu nationalism as a global project.’ -- Thomas Blom Hansen, Reliance-Dhirubhai Ambani Professor, Stanford University

‘Anderson’s important study of rightwing Hindu nationalism in multicultural Britain makes a critical intervention … A must-read for all scholars interested in Hindu religious nationalism.’ -- Tanika Sarkar, Retired Professor, Modern History, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi

‘[A] uniquely rich and highly readable account … The book is a must read for anyone interested in the global reach of Hindu nationalism and its diasporic forms.’ -- William Gould, Professor of Indian History, University of Leeds

‘This book offers meticulous documentation of how the expression of Hindu identity in India and abroad became connected… through an organization whose political party now rules India. This is the best account of the process we have, and hence is an important contribution to the literature.’ -- Arvind Rajagopal, Professor of Media Studies, New York University
