"India, a land of enormous complexity and cultural diversity, is in a state of constant flux. Its social reality is changing rapidly as cultural certainties are increasingly questioned by diverse communities and historical forces. In this theoretically reflexive and insightful work. Professor Khare explores the conceptual and ethnographic issues that tumultuous India poses to modern anthropology and sociology. Without reading either too much or too little into caste and religious conflicts, he explicates the cultural sensibilities, roles, presence and limitations of the ordinary Indian and reveals the adaptive strategies of the many 'others' that constitute India from within. "The first part of the book evaluates the relative strengths and weaknesses of the approaches, concepts and explanations exployed by renowned anthropologists such as M.N. Srinivas, Louis Dumont and McKim Marriott to study India. The second part uses ethnographic strategies and narrative analyses as descriptive and discursive tools to explore Indian cultural reasoning patterns within everyday life and under conditions of social injustice, mistrust, and religious and political conflicts. The issues discussed include Dalit women's social struggle and the status of female infanticide, the Deorala sati, the Bhopal gas disaster, the changing nature of Indian communal violence, and the Ayodhya temple-mosque conflict. Carefully designed field encounters help reveal how people locally debate and interrelate regional and national issues. The author concludes that the intensifying forces of status and gender inequalities, social injustice, retaliatory violence, and elusive human rights are challenging the otherwise resilient Hindu cultural reasoning. "The book is firmly grounded in current social reality and emphasizes a conceptual approach suitable to Indian cultural diversity and historical complexity. Finding any particular theoretical schemes insufficient, Professor Khare conceptualizes contemporary Indian issues by being in dialogue with local groups and communities, and by analyzing diverse regional studies. The eloquent portrait of contemporary India that this book constitutes will attract a very wide readership, particularly in the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, history, religious studies, political science, and women's studies.".…

Paperback. Zustand: New. The interdisciplinary approaches presented here investigate food in India and Sri Lanka for its wide ranging cultural meaning and uses. The authors examine food in religious and literary contexts, where saints, ritualists, poets, and the divine often provide grounds for a practically inexhaustible hermeneutics. The Eternal Food focuses on reflexive cultural expressions and personal experiences that food elicits in the region. Concerned with food as an "essence" and as an essential experience, the authors give special attention to Hindu saints for whom food, firmly grounded in moral ideals and practice, represents a cosmic divine principle at one level, and a most immediate and intimate material reality at another.In the cultural diversity of India, the authors work with several conceptual models and meanings of food. They demonstrate how it reflects common social understandings about social caste, the cure and prevention of ailments, its ability to alter moods and motivations, or affect innate personal dispositions, personal spiritual pursuits and attainments. In its sweep and depth, food presents a powerful cultural lens for seeing how practical, ritual, and spiritual spheres of life conjoin.…
