Deceptive Majority: Dalits, Hinduism, and Underground Religion - South Asia in the Social Sciences
Lee, Joel (Williams College, Massachusetts)
An account of contemporary religious life in Lucknow illuminates the embrace and contestation of Hinduization in a Dalit community, it examines the practices by which signs of the community's Hindu affiliation are amplified and tied to a new ethic of publicity. Lee tracks Dalit religion to encompass it within a newly imagined Hindu body politic.
