Description

Explore the complex dynamics of religious identity with Regional Communities of Devotion in South Asia. This scholarly work from the Routledge South Asian Religion Series examines the motif of the religious other within devotional (bhakti) literatures and practices throughout the Indian subcontinent. By unmasking processes of representation, the text looks at how different social and religious agents are adopted, appropriated, or rejected. It offers a critical reconsideration of inherited notions regarding the bhakta or devotee and their relationship to the other. This book investigates bhakti as a multi-dimensional force, looking at its impact through discourse, networks, mythology, and ethics. It engages with existing scholarly narratives to trace the evolution and reach of bhakti across different regions. This is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the religious history and social structures of South Asia.
