1	Shiv Sena, Saamana, and Minorities : A study of the political rhetoric in an Indian Hindu nationalist and Marathi regionalist newspaper Eliasson, Pär January 2016 (has links) The aim of this paper is to analyze how the Mumbai-based Hindu nationalist and regionalist/nativist political party Shiv Sena communicates about minorities through the Hindi version of its daily newspaper Saamana. After giving a brief introduction to Shiv Sena and the Hindu nationalist movement in India, the editorial articles published in the period Mon. 8/2-Sun. 14/2 2016 are analyzed within a theoretical framework based on Foucault and the idea that the public discourse itself is a field of battle where different actors can and do contest what is socially possible to express. The articles – as far as they are concerned with minorities – are found to be mainly preoccupied with Muslims, which are associated with Pakistan and terrorists and pictured as potentially fanatic and disloyal to the nation. / <p>Kandidatuppsats i indologi</p> Shiv Sena Saamana Hindu nationalism Hindutva Mumbai Indian politics political rhetoric discourse minorities media Humanities and the Arts Humaniora och konst
