505			_aBharat Mata: Hindutva Political Symbol and Secular Aspirations by Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Shinekumar offers a profound and balanced exploration of one of India’s most powerful cultural symbols—Bharat Mata. Through historical, theological, and socio-political analysis, the author examines how this figure has evolved from a unifying symbol of national identity into a contested emblem of Hindutva ideology. Drawing on rich scholarship and critical insight, Shinekumar presents an inclusive and secular interpretation that reclaims Bharat Mata as a symbol of unity, justice, and pluralism. This timely study invites readers to reflect on the complex intersections of religion, nationalism, and identity in contemporary India.
