The forgotten art of squatting
The guru in South Asia: New interdisciplinary perspectives
In the ancient Vedic texts, a guru is the ascetic teacher to whom young men of high status families are sent for their education. In the mediaeval period, movements of personal devotion (bhakti) we

World religions' and 'ethnic groups: Do these paradigms lend themselves to the cause of Hindu nationalism
The article explores the assumptions underlying common academic usage of the terms 'Hindu' and 'Hinduism' in Britain.

A tendency to focus on the positive and integrative functions of religion, combined…

On the basis of intensive biographical study of bo…

For them, ‘Hindus’ are people of high caste…

Caste, Religion and other Identities
Religion is one of the many principles of social identification in India. It is becoming increasingly important - although, very often, what appears to be mobilisation on a religious basis can just as adequately, indeed more satisfactorily, be described in terms of caste, class or regional affiliations. Vested interests may encourage the reification of religions, and academics overseas, especially in Religious Studies departments, may, unwittingl…
