About the Book

In September 2003, Ariel Sharon became the first Israeli Prime Minister to step on Indian soil. Hindutva and Sharonism embraced each other, and these two Asian right-wing ideologies hoped to form some sort of entente against Islamic terrorism with the blessings of George W. Bush's evangelical imperialism. Namaste Sharon, said India's Prime Minister, but what does the rest of the country say? In Namaste Sharon, political commentator Vijay Prasad unmasks the nefarious agenda whereby the evangelical imperialism of the Bush administration, the predatory agenda of the Sharonites and the vainglory of Hindutva come together.
