Abstract
With the spectacular victory of Bharatiya Janata Party in India, the notion of Hindutva and
Hindu nationalism have gained support. Malini Bhattacharjee explores the cultural appeal of
the category of "seva" (service), one of the foundational pillars of the Hindu nationalist
movement, and demonstrates how the political construction of seva, both as an idea and in
practice, has advanced the entrenchment of Hindutva in contemporary India.
