Subalternity and Religion (eBook, ePUB)

The Prehistory of Dalit Empowerment in South Asia

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the relation between mainstream and marginal or subaltern religious practice in the Indian subcontinent. Keeping in view the power and reach of genocidal Hinduism, this book is the first to look at how the religion of marginal communities at once affirms and turns away from secularised religion.
