Recent Following the "resurgence of Hindu nationalist politics" and the rise of the BJP, large statues of deities and other Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and secular icons have been built in India since the late 1980s "for political stakes". According to Jain, they are an expression of political and religious forces, a "materialization" of the interplay between "new image technologies, neospiritual religious movements, Hindu nationalist politics, globalization, and Dalit-Bahujan verifications of equality and presence". According to Jain, these statues "have been increasingly deployed in "statue wars" in which politicians seek to outdo aone another in building spectacular statues for their electoral constituencies (known in India as vote banks), despite inevitable public criticism for squandering limited state resources on such symbolic projects". The building of these statues has also led to heated debates between various political parties.
