Resumo: This article discusses the convergence between authoritarianism and neoliberalism in the Indian context, where the ruling BJP party has advanced an aggressive Hindu nationalist (Hindutva) agenda since 2014. Initially, the colonization of the public sphere by this religious nationalism is analyzed. The acceleration of this process since the beginning of Narendra Modi's second term in office in 2019 is then addressed. The third section discusses the class bases of Hindutva politics. It is suggested that the acceleration of this agenda poses a dilemma for the ruling class, since the radicalization inherent in the dynamics of Hindu nationalism threatens the social stability and the economy of the country. Committed to this politics on the basis of class interests, big capital has no alternative project at the moment, and risks becoming a prisoner of the politics it helped to set in motion.

Inicialmente, é analisada a colonização da esfera pública por este nacionalismo religioso. Em seguida, é abordada a aceleração desse processo desde o início do segundo mandato de Narendra Modi em 2019. A terceira seção discute as bases de classe da política Hindutva. É avançada a hipótese de que a aceleração dessa agenda coloca um dilema para a classe dominante, uma vez que a radicalização inerente à dinâmica do nacionalismo hindu, ameaça a estabilidade social e a economia do país. Comprometida com esta política em função de interesses de classe, a grande burguesia não tem um projeto alternativo no momento, e arrisca se tornar prisioneira da engrenagem que ajudou a colocar em marcha.Revista KatálysisRevista KatálysisRevista Katálysis2021-04-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/article/view/7297410.1590/1982-0259.2021.e72974Revista Katálysis; Vol. 24 No. 1 (2021): State, authoritarianism and class struggle; 53-65Revista Katálysis; Vol. 24 Núm. 1 (2021): Estado, autoritarismo e luta de classes ; 53-65Revista Katálysis; v. 24 n. 1 (2021): Estado, autoritarismo e luta de classes ; 53-651982-02591414-4980reponame:Revista Katálysis (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/article/view/72974/45909Copyright (c) 2021 Fabio Luis Barbosa dos Santosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarbosa dos Santos, Fabio Luis2021-04-09T19:32:02Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/72974Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/oairevistakatalysis@gmail.com || kataly@cse.ufsc.br || revistakatalysis@hotmail.com1982-02591414-4980opendoar:2021-04-09T19:32:02Revista Katálysis (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
