Descripción Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. This is a book about religious transformation in South Asia in the nineteenth century. On the one hand, a fundamental conceptual transformation in the world of religion among people who were exposed to English language and culture took place. This transformation crystallized religious communities with sharp boundaries and distinct histories. On the other hand, the emerging feeling of religious-communal identity motivated religious and lay leaders to work in theinterest of the community. This book is about both of these interrelated developments: the conceptual change and the application of the new ideas to political discourse; the construction and the politicsof religious identity. This is a book about religious transformation in South Asia in the nineteenth century. By looking at individuals from different religions the book sheds light on the questions that lie at the heart of later nationalist discourse, like: Who is a Hindu? Who is a Buddhist? What is the relationship between the religious communities of South Asia? Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
