at www.luminosoa.org. The Emergence of Modern Hinduism argues for
the importance of regional, vernacular innovation in processes of
Hindu modernization. Scholars usually trace the emergence of modern
Hinduism to cosmopolitan reform movements, producing accounts that
overemphasize the centrality of elite religion and the influence of
Western ideas and models. In this study, the author considers
religious change on the margins of colonialism by looking at an
important local figure, the Tamil Shaiva poet and mystic Ramalinga
Swami (1823-1874). Weiss narrates a history of Hindu modernization
that demonstrates the transformative role of Hindu ideas, models,
and institutions, making this text essential for scholarly
audiences of South Asian history, religious studies, Hindu studies,
and South Asian studies.
