This book examines these two phenomena, the linkages between them, and the impact they have had on India's polity and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In exploring cultural and regionalist incursions towards the political mobilization of people, this volume asks if it is legitimate to associate these two trends with each other. The papers here investigate this association and the possibilities for rethinking the relationship between politics and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The interaction of culture and politics has often led to dramatic and violent images that have attracted international attention, while intellectually they have stimulated a wide and free ranging debate about what India is, and who Indians are or ought to be. Such debates reflect not just the rise of religious and regional parties, but also the attempts by their opponents to co-opt their use of cultural symbolism and local specificities in order to defeat them politically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The essays present diverse ways in which organizations and movements have driven, capitalized upon, and been influenced by the dynamic development of culture and identity to bring about political mobilization in India.(p) This volume will be of immense interest to students and scholars of politics, history, sociology, religion, and culture studies in addition to a general audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Author: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Zavos is Lecturer in South Asian Studies, University
