印度教民族主义者投入巨资重写印度历史，以推进其现代和顽固仇恨的政治议程。印度教民族主义（Hindutva）是一种政治意识形态，主张印度教至高无上，特别是对占现代印度人口约14%的穆斯林。尽管名称相似，但印度教与印度教不同，印度教是一个基础广泛的宗教传统，尽管印度教理论家寻求压缩和扁平化印度教传统。在这篇文章中，我描述了印度教在重塑过去作为推进现代政治项目的一种手段的投资的一些轮廓。我还提供了一些关于为什么印度教民族主义者如此关心历史的想法，并探讨了印度教对南亚历史领域和在那里工作的学者日益增长的政治影响力的一些影响。
Hindu nationalists are heavily invested in rewriting Indian history to advance their modern and unrepentantly hateful political agenda. Hindu nationalism or Hindutva is a political ideology that advocates Hindu supremacy, specifically over Muslims who comprise around fourteen percent of modern India’s population. The similarity in name notwithstanding, Hindutva is distinct from Hinduism, a broad-based religious tradition, although Hindutva ideologues seek to constrict and flatten Hindu traditions. In this article, I describe some of the contours of the Hindutva investment in remaking the past as a means of advancing a modern political project. I also offer some thoughts on why Hindu nationalists care so much about history and explore some of the implications of Hindutva’s growing political influence for the field of South Asian history and academics who work therein.
