Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. In Hindu Pluralism, Elaine
M. Fisher complicates the traditional scholarly narrative of the
unification of Hinduism. By calling into question the colonial
categories implicit in the term "sectarianism," Fisher's work
excavates the pluralistic textures of precolonial Hinduism in the
centuries prior to British intervention. Drawing on previously
unpublished sources in Sanskrit, Tamil, and Telugu, Fisher argues
that the performance of plural religious identities in public space
in Indian early modernity paved the way for the emergence of a
distinctively non-Western form of religious pluralism. This work
provides a critical resource for understanding how Hinduism
developed in the early modern period, a crucial era that set the
tenor for religion's role in public life in India through the
present day.
