— Dr. Ashok Swain, Uppsala University

“Pieter’s work is meticulously researched, dogged, and consistently sheds light on the connection between neoliberalism, white supremacy, Hindutva, and violence. An important book to understand the present political moment.”
— Suchitra Vijayan, The Polis Project

“This compilation highlights the problematic character of Hindutva ideology, provides a profound insight on RSS and its international subsidiaries, and is highly relevant for national

“What makes Friedrich’s compendium especially compelling is that its reportage is at once a contemporary account and a historical lens for future generations that will want to mine
the depths of Hindutva fascism’s beginning, middle and end;
for there should be no doubt that, like all self-destructive xenophobic ideologies, Hindu Nationalism, too,
shall come to grief, sooner than later.”
— Ajit Sahi, Indian journalist and activist

“We hope Indians (particularly Hindus) the world over
pay attention to this timely and well-researched book which chronicles the rise of Hindu Nationalism and consequent decline of democracy, religious freedom and human rights in India.”
— Hindus for Human Rights
