Description

Explore the complex dynamics of South Asian identity with Beyond Religion in India and Pakistan. Part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Religion, Gender, and Sexuality series, this book examines how gender and caste borders shape religious experiences in the region. By applying theoretical frameworks regarding materiality and subalternity, the text offers fresh perspectives on religion in India and Pakistan. It looks closely at the physical aspects of popular religion, treating material expression as a significant indicator of shifts in social, political, and religious identity. Through an investigation of specific sites of piety, such as shrines and their associated ephemeral paraphernalia, the authors challenge existing definitions of religion. This work provides a deep look into how practice and performance at sacred sites reflect wider societal developments, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars of South Asian history and religious studies.
