Drawing on a poststructuralist, discourse theoretical framework, the chapter analyses the interplay of Hindu nationalism, populism and foreign policy in the 2014 election campaign of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its leader Narendra Modi. The chapter understands nationalism, populism and foreign policy as discourses that construct collective identities by drawing distinct political boundaries between Self and Other. It shows that Modi’s BJP has shaped a discursive project that constructs ‘the people’ as both disenfranchised ethnos and demos by pitting it against the ‘corrupt’ establishment that is accused of siding with and appeasing the ‘foreign’ Other. In this context, the chapter also discusses the ideological dimension of nationalism and populism and illuminates how such discourses drive the identification with particular political projects by masking over the discursive character of what we view as social reality and the resulting impossibility of a fully constituted subject such as ‘the people’.
