Modern Hinduism in Text and Context brings together textual and
contextual approaches to provide a holistic understanding of modern
Hinduism. It examines new sources - including regional Saiva texts,
Odissi dance and biographies of Nationalists - and discusses topics
such as yoga, dance, visual art and festivals in tandem with
questions of spirituality and ritual. The book addresses themes and
issues yet to receive in-depth attention in the study of Hinduism.
It shows that Hinduism endures not only in texts, but also in the
context of festivals and devotion, and that contemporary practice,
devotional literature, creative traditions and ethics inform the
intricacies of a religion in context. Lavanya Vemsani draws on
social scientific methodologies as well as history, ethnography and
textual analysis, demonstrating that they are all part of the
toolkit for understanding the larger framework of religion in the
context of emerging nationhood, transnational and transcultural
interactions.
