Sharma, Mukul

Green and Saffron: The RSS, Modi and Indian environmental politics - Ranikhet Permanent Black 2024 - xxviii, 384p. Includes glossary, bibliography and index

This book examines the intersection of contemporary environmental issues and movements in independent India, and the development of Hindu conservative ideology and politics. It also focuses on post-2014 scenarios up to the present day.
Sharma argues that these two social currents – environmental conservation and Hindu politics – have forged strong bonds. He reveals the hijacking of environmentalism – including the politics of climate change and energy transition – by conservative and retrograde worldviews.
