This book, steeped in the traditions of both postcolonial theory
and Continental philosophy, addresses fundamental questions about
God and theology in the postcolonial world. Namely, Y.T. Vinayaraj
asks whether Continental philosophies of God and the 'other' can
attend to the struggles that entail human pain and suffering in the
postcolonial context. The volume offers a constructive proposal for
a Dalit theology of immanent God or de-othering God as it emerges
out of the Lokayata, the Indian materialist epistemology. Engaging
with the post-Continental philosophers of immanence such as Gilles
Deleuze, Giorgio Agamben, Catherine Malabou, and Jean-Luc Nancy,
Vinayaraj explores the idea of a Dalit theology of God and body in
the post-Continental context. The book investigates how there can
be a Dalit theology of God without any Christian philosophical
baggage of transcendentalism. The study ends with a clarion call
for Indian Christian Theology to take a turn toward an immanence
that is political and polydoxical in content.
