...Indian nationalism has become akin to a religious faith and India a god worthy of worship.
...Indian nationalism as a religious faith in the service of the Hindu empire.
...India became synonymous with Bharat Mata, the territorial Hindu deity to be worshipped through deshbhakhti. Kashmir, which is called "the secular crown of India" without any hint of shame or irony, was actually imagined as "the crown of Bharat Mata"
...Kashmir in the same vein also became the atoot ang (an unbreakable body-part) of the anthropomorphic goddess Mother India.
...the state seeks to firmly place Kashmir within the Hindu imagination, as another point on the sacred map of Bharat Mata.
