This multilayered analysis of the meaning of Shiv Sena as both party and performer/creator of Marathi/Hindu identities combines ethnography, political science, philosophy, and Lacanian observations within a complex exploration of sociopolitical changes in Bombay (Mumbai) since the 19th century... A provocative text for those interested in the many dimensions of urban politics, even beyond South Asia. Choice
