Contemporarily, the world is experiencing a severe contestation of
political ideas as nation-states are increasingly drawn toward finding their
relevance in conservative nationalism. With the cold death of Fukuyama's End of
History, ideological conflicts are born anew. Illiberal political ideologies are
being revived, political distinctions are drawn, discourses are monopolized, and
the return of the idea of the sovereign is upsetting the impartiality of legal order.
The paper seeks to examine the resurrection of these ideas which are espoused in
the politics of Hindu nationalism in the theoretical framework provided by
German political theorist Carl Schmitt. His writings on politics, liberalism, and
constitution outline a blueprint of illiberal authoritarianism. With the electoral
mandate, powerful constituencies, and rising middle-class support, it is critical to
develop an understanding of why Hindu nationalism appeals to the society and
deliberate over what future holds for the modernity as fringe ideas are now
becoming mainstream in India.
