“…All these ideological components of far-right ideology relate to women's biological and social reproductive role and depend upon the retelling of Eve's story in the Christian bible. Similar dynamics are evident on a state level in Buddhist-majority Burma, where laws are implemented to control the number and spacing of children born to prevent miscegenation (Malji, 2021).…”

In recent years, feminist scholarship has contributed a gender perspectives to examine extremist narratives, motivations and recruitment, as well as gender-responsive strategies to counter extremism. A systematic framework for analysing how gender operates at multiple levels to promote or counter extremisms, however, does not exist. To address this need, we offer a typology with three dimensions drawn from feminist theory: gendered identity, referring to the concept of a person’s gender; gendered ideology, referring to the role gender plays in the mobilising myths of states and non-state organisations; and gendered power dynamics, referring to the hierarchical order of femininities and masculinities structuring the environments in which extremism takes root. The article applies the gender typology to far-right, Buddhist and Islamist extremisms, illustrating the analytical power of gender to explain and interpret diverse extremisms while highlighting patterns and relationships across them in broader global politics. We argue that it is vital to study the intersecting dynamics of gender in order to both understand and challenge extremisms that are increasingly prevalent globally.

“…In contrast with a portion of the urban areas of Uttar Pradesh like Moradabad, Meerut, Ayodhya, Allahabad, and Aligarh, Varanasi saw similarly lesser episodes of viciousness among Hindus and Muslims. When it saw the mobs, they had been somewhat low power regarding the fatalities (Malji, 2021). Additionally, during the snapshots of public and nearby strain, and the obligation of tana bana and Bhai among Muslims and Hindus cooperating in the business of silk sarees find it supported the account of harmony talk or Shanti in Varanasi and the essential everyday factors of the conjunction of Hindus and Muslims.…”

While no newspaper questioned Yogi's appointment as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh in terms of appropriateness, they were not uncritical. Newspapers noted and stressed the fame of Yogi before bringing attention to the limitations. They even discussed the trust deficit between the Administration of Yogi and Muslims and provided some space to articulate their issues and concerns. While discussing the lack of trust, publications focused much on the Muslim population's support for the BJP and Yogi's work among Muslims. Amongst core Hindutva issues, just closure of the illegal slaughterhouses has also been stressed. During election campaigns, the focus was mainly on the caste and regional representation in the party. However, after the declaration of the results, issues of expression of the religious minorities have occupied center stage. The situation of law and order in a broad sense was at an all-time high in terms of the agenda of BJP while the elections were happening. However, in post-elections, news coverage about women's safety and the situation of law and order now have become synonymous. Newspapers did not oppose the anti-Romeo squads if they stressed the inconvenience to the innocent people while noting that only the formation of these squads would not address deep concerns. The issue of electricity supply, problems of the farmers, traffic issues, encephalitis, and cheating all got significant attention from the Yogis government. A sample of 133 respondents from the administration and management department was surveyed to analyze the Administration and Management of the Government of Uttar Pradesh under the Leadership of Yogi Aditya Nath and the leadership effect of Yogi Aditya Nath on administration and management. The study concludes that there is a significant leadership effect of Yogi Aditya Nath on the administration and management of the Government of Uttar Pradesh.

Research suggests that Muslim women wearing the hijab may be particularly vulnerable to the experiences of stigmatization as the hijab represents a dominant marker of “otherness.” Using the relational demography perspective, this paper explored the viewpoints of hijab and non‐hijab‐wearing Muslim women in Delhi regarding the different forms of discrimination and/or social isolation they may have experienced. Thematic analysis was used to explore the participant's narratives, gathered by means of six focus group discussions (n = 38). For the hijab‐wearing group, two emergent themes were evident: “Journey of my hijab” and “The two sides of the hijab.” For the non‐hijab‐wearing group, the emergent themes included: “My name is (un)safe” and “Not Muslim enough.” The study findings can inform the development of intervention strategies to integrate the community more meaningfully by preventing “othering” and providing agency and autonomy.
