Abstract
En la India, una de las consecuencia de la apertura económica iniciada timidamente en los años ochenta ha sido el incremento de los grupos nacionalistas y fundamentalistas y el desarrollo de secciones femeninas en todos ellos. Movimientos que se desarrollaron a principios del siglo XX con el objetivo de convertir la India en una Hindu Rashtra o una Nación Hindú y que están dando un giro violento para defender lo que consideran su propio estilo de vida. Las mujeres de estas asociaciones, pese a que rompen con los estereotipos imaginados de sumisión y subordinación no abogan por alcanzar cuotas de mayor igualdad, sino que tratan de convertirse en defensoras de unos valores en los que se enaltece la figura de la madre y la religión hinduista y se critica a los miembros de otras religiones, principalmente la musulmana.
One of the consequences of India's economic opening timidly initiated in the eighties has been the rise of nationalist and fundamentalist movements, which included female participation in all of them. These movements were born at the beginning of the XXth century and aimed to turn India into a Hindu Rashtra or Hindu Nation, sometimes resorting to violence to defend what they consider to be their own way of life. Women taking part in these movements, though they were far from the common stereotypes of submission and subordination, did not plead for more equality. On the contrary, they intended to beco me the guardians of values in which both the figure of the mother and Hinduism are glorified, and in which members of other religions, especially Muslims, are strongly criticized.
