Sommario/riassunto

This book presents an interdisciplinary understanding of the social and economic drivers of far-right politics in South Asia. In response to the growth of xenophobia, reactionary nationalism, authoritarianism, and aggressive leadership in the region, it examines both the religious and economic conditions that have encouraged far-right populism and the profit-driven capitalist systems it produces. The book also delves into



the unique histories of South Asia, along with the region's religious and cultural traditions, to provide context for broader economic and political trends and shed light on the consolidation of wealth and growing inequality. The book thoroughly explores the economic and political transformation of South Asia resulting from far-right populism, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers in the fields of political economy and South Asian studies. Bhabani Shankar Nayak is Professor of Business Management at the University forthe Creative Arts, UK. Debadrita Chakraborty is a Researcher at the Cardiff University, UK and Assistant Professor, UPES, India.
