| Descripción: | In early May 2021, results for the Assam Legislative Assembly elections were announced. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had repeated the 2016 victory and would be allowed to nominate the new Chief minister. In the general elections of 2014 and 2019, i.e., for the Lok Sabha, the BJP had triumphed as well in the state. Behind these victories, there is a wider process of expansion of the Hindutva or Hindu nationalism, a political, social and cultural movement which sees India as primarily a Hindu country. Hindutva has spread to new places, which had remained outside of its usual area of influence, such as the Indian northeast. This expansion has made Hindutva adopt new elements and concerns and adapt to the dynamics of the region. |
