RT Book T1 Hindu pluralism: religion and the public sphere in early modern South India T2 South Asia across the disciplines A1 Fisher, Elaine M. 1984- LA English PP Oakland, California PB University of Californiarnia Press YR 2017 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1624443745 AB "Much has been written about the historical origins of the unity of Hinduism. Hindu difference has been read through the lens of the term "sectarianism," a concept that translates devotion as dissent, and community as a potential precursor to communalism. In Hindu Pluralism, Elaine. M. Fisher argues that it is the plurality of Hindu religious identities, and their embodiment and contestation in public space, that first reveals the emergence of Hinduism as a unified religion in south India and an integral feature of a distinctively Indic early modernity prior to British Colonialism."--Provided by publisher NO Includes bibliographical references and index CN BL1153.7.S68 SN 9780520293014 K1 Hinduism : India, South K1 Religious Pluralism : India, South K1 Hinduism K1 Religion K1 Religious Pluralism K1 India, South : Religion : India, South K1 India, South : Religion DO 10.1525/luminos.24
