Inside India’s powerful Hindu-nationalist movement
A hundred years after it was founded, the RSS is getting closer to its goal of a Hindu-first state
I am grateful to the FT for citing my views on the Hindu nationalist movement on the occasion of the centenarial anniversary of RSS.

La guerre éclair qui a opposé l’Inde au Pakistan en mai dernier a révélé l’isolement relatif de la première et les ressources du second - dans les 2 cas, la Chine joue un rôle clé. @CERI_SciencesPo @ScPoResearch @i_montaigne @Inalco @FRS_org

Who Is India’s All-Weather Friend in This World?
And who is Pakistan's?
Who Is India’s All-Weather Friend ? Neither the US not Russia has helped India as much as China vis-à-vis Pakistan after Pahalgam while India is more China-dependent than ever. Is plurilateralism over? @FT @ceri-sciencespo.bsky.social @TheEconomist @CarnegieIndia

Why Does Narendra Modi Suddenly Want a Caste Census?
Beyond short-term electoral prospects, the decision to hold a caste census is bound to make a structural impact on Indian politics and society.
Congress pressure & Bihar elections are not the only reasons why N Modi wants a Caste Census. There are 3 others, also tactical - but they can have long term effects. @CERI_SciencesPo @KingsIndiaInst @CarnegieIndia @BASASofficial @scpo-research.bsky.social

RSS at 100: Continuity amid change
In 1925, K B Hedgewar, the founder of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, envisioned that his organisation would ultimately become “the Hindu Rashtra in miniature”
RSS is 100 years old. It has grown & changed a lot: Nagpur has lost its moral authority & Narendra Modi almost took over the Sangh parivar. But Hindutva has changed India even more. @CERI_SciencesPo @KingsIndiaInst @CarnegieIndia

Les Forums France Inde - Gujarat Vs Tamil Nadu
Adaptation en français de l'article de Christophe Jaffrelot publié dans **The Wire** le 26 mars 2025
"Gujarat or Tamil Nadu: Which is India's Model State?"*:
Le Gujarat a été présenté par N Modi comme un modèle, mais le Tamil Nadu fait mieux en termes de croissance, de lutte contre la pauvreté, d’éducation, d’accès à la santé. Quelques données méconnues.
