| 520 | |a In this paper I wish to raise and discuss some methodological and epistemological issues on my decade-long study of Hinduism in Australia. I am taking this occasion as an opportunity to reflect on my own work in the area - and of others too in Australia and New Zealand - after having just spent a year studying, among other things, Hindus in the Greater Atlanta metropolis. One important context in which I wish to proceed with these reflections is the phenomenon of transnationalism and globalization which is having such an unprecedented impact on contemporary life almost anywhere. Those communities and national-sources that have been part of the migratory circuit over the past two centuries at least have begun to experience a particular type of migratory anomie and identity dislocation as a result of the sheer pressures of post-industrial economy and market-place life-style and other challenges of fast-track modernity now upon them. But globalization undoubtedly has brought along other benefits and opened up resources, access, and facilities that only one generation back would have been undreamt of, and this has heralded the phenomenon often referred to as transnationalism or, in more pedestrian terms, as long distance communications and interaction transcending the, boundaries of nation-states and regional-local isolationism. To begin with, I wish to set some structure to my discussion here. I will first present a summary of the Hindu disapora and Hinduism in Australia. | ||
