About the Book: Over the past decade, under Narendra Modi’s leadership, India has shifted towards authoritarianism and Hindutva, increasingly relying on Israeli weapons, tactics, and technical aid to shape its ethnonationalist state. Once a strong supporter of Palestine and leader of the Non-Aligned Movement, India’s embrace of Israel marks a stark departure. Hostile Homelands explores the historical ties between Zionism and Hindutva, India’s evolving stance on Palestine, and its growing military-industrial partnership with Israel since the 1990s. Azad Essa argues this alliance poses serious risks to democracy, rule of law, and justice globally
