Abstract

Through this article, Fathima Nizaruddin maps the links between authoritarian turn in India under Modi and the expansion of the circulatory network of Hindu majoritarianism in the country under the conditions provided by informational capitalism. She traces some of the specific ways in which transformations caused by the ascent of informational capitalism contributed to the strengthening of majoritarian subject positions in India. She argues that the figure of the Bhakt or 'devotee' in the context of Hindu majoritarianism is central to the strengthening of such positions and traces how digital platforms work within the configurations around the production of Bhakts.
