Description

Explore the complex relationship between language and faith in this academic study from Routledge. Hindi Christian Literature in Contemporary India offers a unique look at how Christian writers use the Hindi language to shape religious identity. While public perception often links Hindi to Hindu identity and Urdu to Muslim identity, this book investigates how Christians use Hindi to present a faith that feels Indian and rooted in the local culture of the Hindi belt. Through three detailed case studies, the text examines the politics of language and religion in modern India. It challenges the idea that Christianity in India is strictly tied to the English language or Western influence. Instead, it reveals how writers adopt Hindi to create a form of Christianity that is desi and deeply connected to the religio-linguistic landscape of the region. This work is a significant resource for those studying religion, sociology, and the linguistic shifts in contemporary Indian society.
