DESCRIPTION:On Nov. 9\, 2019\, the Indian Supreme Court (ISC) rendered a de
 cision granting Hindus the right to build a Rama temple on the location of
  Babri Masjid razed by Hindu extremists in 1992. This talk explores the br
 oad contours of the ISC judgement\, how Facebook and Twitter communities d
 iscuss it\, and why this matters politically in India. Prof. Sundaram show
 s how the ISC’s judgement becomes possible through the production of a m
 ediatized\, transnational\, Hindu belief community (e.g. social media\, bl
 ogs\, and the sharing of journal/televised news pieces) that takes shape t
 hrough a virtual/digital network of likes\, shares\, and hashtags.
