Abstract

One of the most obvious things that sets Narendra Modi's government apart from its predecessors is its much-publicized attempt to uproot Jawaharlal Nehru's ideological legacies in both domestic and foreign policy. Practically every administration since Nehru has tinkered with his "idea of India" and departed from one or another of his policies. But none—including the governments led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) between 1998 and 2004—have tried wholly to demolish the ideological edifice India's first prime minister left behind nor sought to put in its place something completely different.1 Quite deliberately, however, that is what Modi and his allies have aimed to do since May 2014, seeking to sweep aside Nehru's construction and build a "Naya Bharat" (New India) informed by Hindu nationalism.
