Authentic leadership in India is founded on the politics of development and social identity construction. It has been politicized with new meaning under the garb of cultural revivalism rather than the revivalism of criticality. The discourses of neoliberalism and the current sociopolitical context of India showed how the majority preferred authentic leaders who enhanced social class mobility and change and fulfilled cultural-political needs. The present article attempts to understand how an authentic leader represents the social identity and values of the majority. The new politics of resistance, movements, and leadership are discussed.
印度的本真领导力建立在发展政治和社会身份建构之上。它在文化复兴主义而非批判性复兴主义的外衣下被赋予了新的政治化意义。新自由主义话语以及印度当前的社会政治背景表明，大多数人更喜欢那些能促进社会阶层流动与变革并满足文化政治需求的本真领导者。本文试图理解本真领导者如何代表大多数人的社会身份和价值观。文中还讨论了新的抵抗政治、运动和领导力。
