Religious imaginary is a way of conceiving and structuring the
world within the conceptual and imaginative traditions of the
religious. Using religious imaginary as a reference, this book
analyses temporal ideologies and expressions of historicity in
South Asia in the early modern, pre-colonial and early colonial
period. Chapters explore the multiple understandings of time and
the past that informed the historical imagination in various kinds
of literary representations, including historiographical and
literary texts, hagiography, and religious canonical literature.
The book addresses the contributing forces and comparative
implications of the formation of religious and communitarian
sensibilities as expressed through the imagination of the past, and
suggests how these relate to each other within and across
traditions in South Asia. By bringing diverse materials together,
this book presents new commonalities and distinctions that inform a
larger understanding of how religion and other cultural formations
impinge on the concept of temporality, and the representation of it
as history.
