| Summary, etc | Public Hinduisms is an interdisciplinary collection of essays that examines how Hinduism is represented, interpreted, and practiced within contemporary public life. The editors explore the ways in which Hindu identities are constructed and negotiated through religious organizations, media, politics, education, cultural institutions, and transnational communities. Rather than viewing Hinduism as a single, fixed tradition, the book demonstrates its diversity and evolving nature in different social and political contexts. The volume is organized into thematic sections covering public representations of Hinduism, ecumenical movements, religious organizations, guru traditions, Hindu nationalism, media, globalization, and diaspora communities. Through detailed case studies from India, the United Kingdom, the United States, and other regions, the contributors examine how Hindu beliefs and practices are shaped by issues of identity, migration, public policy, and cultural change. Written by leading scholars in religious studies, sociology, anthropology, and political science, the book provides a critical understanding of the relationship between religion and the public sphere. It is particularly valuable for researchers and postgraduate students interested in Hinduism, South Asian studies, religious studies, sociology of religion, and globalization. |
