Thomas Blom Hansen's Princeton University Press study centers on the December 1992 and January 1993 Bombay riots as the pivotal event in the rise of the Hindu nationalist Shiv Sena party, arguing the party's militant plebeian political culture reshaped the city's public life and its relationship between Hindu and Muslim residents in the riots' aftermath. Hansen, an anthropologist, draws on archival material, the Srikrishna Commission's own findings and extensive interviews conducted across the city's neighborhoods and political factions.
