"This is an important book by Carl Vadivella Belle which argues
that Hinduism and its manifestations in the diaspora has important
significance in binding not only the Hindus but also encourages
'others' to revisit Hinduism, especially in a multicultural society
like Malaysia which is dominated by communally infused discourses
structured upon race and religion." - Ajaya K. Sahoo, Editor,
Journal of South Asian Diaspora "Dr Belle weaves his magical
journey over nearly half a century, offering poignant and potent
insights into the socio economic and spiritual realities of Hindus
in Malaysia. Numerous books maybe available on Tamil Traditions and
Hinduism in Malaysia, but none seem to have succinctly and
encapsulated the very essence and heart of these veritable
subjects. I would unreservedly recommend this book, to all those
interested in matters pertaining to Indians and Hinduism in
Malaysia." - Professor Bala Shanmugam, Academic Director,
Federation University, Malaysia "This is a work of immense
inspiration. Combining personal pilgrimage with ethnographic
perseverance, it is at once a document of ritual power and cultural
change and a biography of religious encounter. By becoming the
religious Other, Carl Belle creates a new dimension in the
understanding of Thaipusam as both ethnic and individual
experience. Dauntlessly frank and insightful, it is without doubt a
rare achievement." - Raymond Lee, Universiti Malaya (retired)
