Description

Exploring the changing relationships between religion and socio-political context, this volume analyses the experience of individuals and religious groups and also the movements during the colonial period and after. It critically examines the process of formulation of religious identities in South Asia. The essays also document the different ways in which the latter negotiated the challenges posed by colonial modernity.
