520 |a This article examines and problematizes the question of how Indian Christians coming from a Dalit background and now living in the United States negotiate the question of identity. It seeks to complicate further the identitarian narratives of the Asian American diasporic communities and reminds us of the possibility of ‘multifaceted identities’ of the diaspora, reflecting persistent social hierarchies such as caste consciousness. Taking its cue from a pioneering Dalit theologian’s appropriation of the ‘wandering Aramean’, the essay asks if Dalit theology can point the way forward towards forging new alliances in the new context, where new opportunities exist alongside memories of, and embodiment of, old hierarchical and stratified realities?
