- This monograph was the result of 4 years of ethnographic research. It is the first-ever study of the Hindu-right in the eastern Himalayas of Northeast India and their increasing ideological activities amongst Indigenous peoples. Interacting with grassroots activists, it examined in-depth the Hindu-right’s modus operandi by asking challenging questions about their ‘idea of India’, while interrogating their efforts to assimilate the region as part of 'the greater India experiment' expanding all the way to Southeast/East Asia. Final fieldwork and the writing of the book was completed during a British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship (2017-18).
