This book offers a focused examination of the Bengali Vaisnava
tradition in its manifold forms in the pivotal context of British
colonialism in South Asia. Bringing together scholars from across
the disciplines of social and intellectual history, philology,
theology, and anthropology to systematically investigate Vaisnavism
in colonial Bengal, this book highlights the significant
roles-religious, social, and cultural-that a prominent Hindu
devotional current played in the lives of wide and diverse sections
of colonial Bengali society. Not only does the book thereby enrich
our understanding of the history and development of Bengali
Vaisnavism, but it also sheds valuable new light on the texture and
dynamics of colonial Hinduism beyond the discursive and
social-historical parameters of an entrenched Hindu "Renaissance"
paradigm. A landmark in the burgeoning field of Bengali Vaisnava
studies, this book will be of interest to scholars of modern
Hinduism, religion, and colonial South Asian social and
intellectual history.
