Dear All,

Christian Science Monitor has a story about the connection between Hindu nationalism and growing interest in Delhi’s Muslim history. Al Jazeera has a story covering recent comments made by Gandhi’s great-grandson claiming that the rise of PM Modi and the BJP are increasing polarization and division in India. 

 World Politics Review (paysite) has an opinion piece arguing that Christian nationalism is made for authoritarians.

Daily Kos published an op-ed about Christian nationalism and its connection to the Supreme Court. National Review (paysite) has an opinion article arguing that paranoia about Christian nationalism isn't new. NPR has an interview with Bradley Onishi, a former Evangelical minister and former white nationalist, about his recent book “Preparing for War: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism—and What Comes Next." MSNBC has an op-ed looking at what the Jan. 6 committee omitted about Christian nationalism.
