There has been a curious resistance among scholars, and to a lesser extent among political practitioners, to the fact that fascism is not a European phenomenon alone, or even necessarily in origin. The ideas that went into European fascisms were present in an international public domain from the late 19th century, and outside Europe they sometimes persisted without having been discredited after the dominion of fascism ended in Europe in 1945. Although fascism in its formative years emerged as a set of ideas in a public domain that was structured by a widespread cooperation and exchange of ideas across the world, this has seldom been accepted, in part because claims to the authentic genius of each people or nation are integral to fascist movements, and the cooperation is veiled or disavowed. This lecture uses primarily Indian examples to show the long-term connections and persistence of fascist movements.
