| Summary: | The present volume of Nid?n focuses on expressions of Hinduism in a global context of the Indian diaspora. Although such expressions are based on the original cultural locations from where the diaspora originated, it is invariably the case that new locations and their cultural and social conditions influence the perpetuation of religious beliefs through various cultural institutions and art forms. Often the diaspora communities have a much stronger desire and cultural as well as social need to continue their traditions which their forebears had brought with them to the new society. This phenomenon can be exemplified through documented accounts from various parts of the world where the diaspora communities live. The Hindu diaspora is none the different in this regard. In offering this editorial introduction, I do not wish to provide simply an overview of the papers presented in this volume, but rather to place them in a broader comparative context of the Hindu diasporic experience with a view to signify their theoretical salience both in the study of Hinduism as well as in the broader social sciences. |
