Hindu Diasporas presents the histories and religious traditions of
Hindus with a South Asian ancestral background living outside of
South Asia. Hinduism is a global religion with a significant
presence in many countries throughout the world. The most important
cause of this global expansion is migration. This book presents and
analyses the most important of the geographies, migration
histories, religious traditions and developments, rituals, places,
institutions, and representations of Hinduism in the diasporas,
capturing some of the great plurality of Hindu religious
traditions. The first part of the book concentrates on the major
regions in the world in which Hindu diasporas are found. The main
focus is the modern period, but the book discusses also the
possibility of premodern Hindu diasporas in Southeast Asia. The
second part focuses on specific central themes such as Vaishnava,
Shaiva, and Shakta traditions in diasporas, temples, and traditions
of sacred sites and pilgrimage outside of South Asia, Hindutva
organizations and the diaspora, as well as relations between Hindu
diasporas and new followers of Hindu traditions. The chapters in
this book show some of the global presence of the Hindu diasporas
and some of the dynamic developments in multiple geographical
spaces. Analysing specific spaces and themes, the chapters of the
book offer a foundation for understanding the Hindu traditions in
its most important global diasporic contexts and the dynamic
developments around the world.
