| Summary: | According to the author, contemporary Hindu nationalism articulates a genteel multi-culturalist presence in the USA that is at odds with the militant Hindu supremacism in India. The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) of America trumpets Hindu culture as both a contribution to America's multiculturist experiment and as an example of successful multiculturalism in itself. The author looks at VHP's activities in the USA, its connections with the VHP in India and other Hindu organizations, non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in the USA and in other countries of the world, influence of VHP among NRIs, Hindu versus American identity of the Hindu Indians of the USA among other issues.
