Through a series of case studies taken from everyday experiences of people following a variety of religions, this book interrogates the supposed epistemological dualism between modernity and religion in India. Through a study of oral and textual traditions, examining the perspectives of women and other marginal social and regional groups, as well as the diaspora, the book presents dynamically interacting textures of society-historically and in our contemporarytimes-engaging with modernity in divergent ways.
