Upper caste nationalism

 

 Nationalism without a Nation in India

-- G Alosyius

One of the most persuasive people to write on the hollow and casteist core of our nationalism is G.Aloysius sir. I wish the teachers had invited him for the 'teach-ins' on nationalism in JNU. Aloysius sir's work 'Nationalism without a Nation in India' should be primary reading and basis for understanding for anyone seeking to discuss, understand and critique nationalism because it completely exposes the brahmanical and exclusionary nature of nationalism and nation building in India. Unfortunately very few academics talk about him because he perhaps does not fit into their uptight circles or academic jargon or quest to prove true nationalisms.
