| Summary: | In this essay, I want to address the issues of who studies Hinduism and for whose sake it is done. In doing so, I wish to examine 'Hinduism' as a conceptual and analytical tool in the study of Hinduism. Using Hinduism as an exemplum, I want to suggest how the broader study of religion might be pursued. In doing so, I want to see a relationship between the problems that exist in the study of Hinduism and the study of religion. In other words, Hinduism is one exemplum that defies the standard definition of religion and therefore it indeed might be what scholars of religion should pay close attention to in discussions of religion. |
