Abstract

In order to reinterpret secularism as a security endeavour rather than a civic standard, this paper explores how fourth-generation military rhetoric in India blends with Cultural Marxist themes. Its goal is to interpret the current political climate in India through the prism of Cultural Marxism, demonstrating how important organizations and discussions are portrayed as locations of an internal cultural conflict. This conflict is visibly demonstrated under the current BJP regime, which portrays itself as the antithesis of Cultural Marxism. The article argues, their public confrontation has resulted in a state of securitized secularism, where opposing civilizational camps weaponize secular principles as conflicting security agendas.
