520 | |a The woman of Samaria mentioned in John 4 is traditionally depicted as a model of behavior not becoming for a woman. Rarely do we find a reading that goes against this usual reading. This essay attempts to give an alternative reading to the passage from an Indian Dalit woman's perspective. The pressing untouchability in religious and social spheres is the major commonality in both contexts. Moreover, the sexuality of both women is being used as an object with serious implications for either sexual exploitation or moral abuse. In either case, religion plays a major role in discriminating against and oppressing its female devotees. The essay also deals with the imposing differences between these two contexts. The voiceless Dalit women gain great strength from understanding Christian beginnings, which accommodated the Dalits of the society of Jesus's day. Dalit women can be glad to know that Jesus's community, which offered an egalitarian nonhierarchical social order offering love and acceptance to all, accepted a Dalit woman, the Samaritan woman in John 4. | ||
