By drawing on popular films, this book unpacks a particular gendered vision of nation in the modern Indian context. This muscular nationalism is an intersection of a specific vision of masculinity with the political doctrine of nationalism: the idea of nation is animated by an idea of manhood associated with martial prowess, muscular strength and toughness, but coupled with the image and construct of virtuous woman - a gendered binary, martial man/chaste woman.
