Book Summary
About the Book: Religion and Modernity in India
Modernity, which emphasizes the relegation of religion firmly to an individuals
private life, is a challenging idea for any culture. In India it faces a
particularly unusual problem: the persistence of numerous traditional and
religious practices means that religion and modernity co-habit here in a
complex, plural, transient, and historically evolving relationship.
Religion and Modernity in India explores this complex relationship through a
series of case studies on the quotidian experiences of people practising a
variety of religions. It presents the dynamically interacting textures of
society engaging with modernity in divergent ways, both historically and in
contemporary times.
