Hindu difference has been read through the lens of the term "sectarianism," a concept that translates devotion as dissent, and community as a potential precursor to communalism. In Hindu Pluralism, Elaine. M. Fisher argues that it is the plurality of Hindu religious identities, and their embodiment and contestation in public space, that first reveals the emergence of Hinduism as a unified religion in south India and an integral feature of a distinctively Indic early modernity prior to British Colonialism."--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aSouth Asia across the disciplines. 606 $aReligious pluralism$zIndia, South 606 $aHinduism$zIndia, South 607 $aIndia, South$xReligion 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aacademic. 610 $abritain. 610 $abritish colony. 610 $acolonial. 610 $acolonialism. 610 $aeastern religion. 610 $ahindu. 610 $ahinduism. 610 $aindia. 610 $aliterary analysis. 610 $aluminos. 610 $amodernity. 610 $apluralism. 610 $apost colonial. 610 $aprecolonial. 610 $apublic life. 610 $apublic space. 610 $areligion. 610 $areligious identity. 610 $areligious pluralism. 610 $areligious studies. 610 $asanskrit. 610 $ascholarly. 610 $asectarianism. 610 $atamil. 610 $atelegu. 610 $aunification. 610 $aworld religion. 615 0$aReligious pluralism 615 0$aHinduism 676 $a294.50954/8 700 $aFisher$b Elaine M.$f1984-$0996853 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996333148303316 996 $aHindu pluralism$92285880 997 $aUNISA
