  Whether spurred by religious images or academic history books, hardly a day goes by in South Asia without an incident or court case occurring as a result of hurt religious feelings. The sharp rise in blasphemy accusations over the past few decades calls for an investigation into why offence politics has become so pronounced, and why it is observable across religious and political differences. Outrage offers an interdisciplinary study of this growing trend. Bringing together researchers in Anthropology, Religious Studies, Languages, South Asia Studies and History, all with rich experience in the variegated ways in which religion and politics intersect in this region, the volume presents a fine-grained analysis that navigates and unpacks the religious sensitivities and political concerns under discussion. Each chapter focuses on a recent case or context of alleged blasphemy or desecration in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar, collectively exploring common denominators across national and religious differences. Among the common features are the rapid introduction of social media and smartphones, the possible political gains of initiating blasphemy accusations, and the growing self-assertion of marginal communities. These features are turning South Asia into a veritable flash point for offence controversies in the world today, and will be of interest to researchers exploring the intersection of religion and politics in South Asia and beyond.

  Denne antologien handler om India, «verdens største demokrati». Landet er en raskt voksende økonomisk og militær makt med ambisjoner i Asia og internasjonalt. India møter samtidig betydelige utfordringer, ikke minst når det gjelder fattigdoms- og klimaproblematikk. De ti bidragsyterne i boken spør hva det demokratiske styresettet betyr for landets evne til å møte disse utfordringene. India står overfor en rekke presserende oppgaver: interne interessekonflikter, forholdet til nabolandet Pakistan, hindunasjonalisme, samarbeidet med USA og arbeidet for likestilling mellom menn og kvinner. Politikk i bred betydning er i dag kanskje det tydeligste feltet innen både forskning og undervisning på Sør-Asia og India. Boken består av kapitler som hvert tar utgangspunkt i forfatternes spesialområde og trekker linjer til relevant teoribygging og til mer generelle oversikter over feltet. Boken er ment som en innføringsbok for studenter ved universiteter og høyskoler.

• Frøystad, Kathinka (2010). Relegitimizing caste discrimination in Uttar Pradesh:Towards a Post-Mandal untouchability? I Aktor, Mikael & Deliège, Robert (Red.), From Stigma to Assertion: Untouchability, identity and politics in early and modern India. Museum Tusculanums Forlag. ISSN 978-87-635-0775-2. s. 178–200. Vis sammendrag

  In this book eight South-Asianists explore the Indian phenomenon known as ‘untouchability’. Historically untouchability was a set of discriminative practices that bound the lowest castes to low-status jobs and restricted their social mobility. Formally the practice was abolished with the constitution of the independent India, and in order to compensate for the social and economic setback caused by centuries’ discrimination a reservation policy that guaranteed the former untouchables access to education and jobs was introduced. These measures have changed the life conditions of the targeted groups, but they have also created tensions in a society where many other groups experience economic stress. First of all they have preserved caste itself as something that matters in the competition for economic benefits. Thereby they have created today’s paradox: That caste assertiveness has become a means to counter inequalities. Four essays (Andrew Wyatt, Simon Charsley, Kathinka Frøystad, and Marie-Caroline Saglio-Yatzimirsky), all based on field work carried out in the late 1990s, address these present issues. Three essays (Mikael Aktor, Eleanor Zelliot, and Jocelyn Clarke) explore pre- and late-colonial material, while the introduction by Robert Deliège is a critical discussion of the combination of caste rhetoric and confrontation strategy in today’s Dalit movement.

  This innovative collection examines the transnational movements, effects, and transformations of religion in the contemporary world, offering a fresh perspective on the interrelation between globalization and religion. Transnational Transcendence challenges some widely accepted ideas about this relationship—in particular, that globalization can be understood solely as an economic phenomenon and that its religious manifestations are secondary. The book points out that religion's role remains understudied and undertheorized as an element in debates about globalization, and it raises questions about how and why certain forms of religious practice and intersubjectivity succeed as they cross national and cultural boundaries. Framed by Thomas J. Csordas's introduction, this timely volume both urges further development of a theory of religion and globalization and constitutes an important step toward that theory.

  Despite their brutality, communal riots in India constitute a far more short-lived form of political violence than civil war and state terror. To make this point is not so commonsensical as it may seem, given the scarcity of reflections regarding this fact in the scholarship on riots in India. Therefore, in thematizing temporality, transience and recurrence, this article aims to broaden the study of communal riots and relate it more closely to general discussions of political violence. Beginning with the three most common approaches to communal riots in India within social anthropology and its neighbouring disciplines -- namely the bird’seye view, agency and everyday life approaches -- I suggest how each can be extended or employed to make riot temporality clearer. This focus may also nuance the way we conceptualize the role of the state and encourage reflection on how we classify instances of political violence.

  With the spread of modern science as a dominant paradigm for truth-seeking, religious movements increasingly turn to modern science as a source of legitimacy. This article examines four of the ways in which scientific legitimacy is constructed within the New Age movement in India: referring to scientific experiments, imitating scientific language and style, use of doctoral titles, and modes of narration in which scientific and spiritual truth-seeking are intertwined. The article culminates by pondering why science has such a powerful legitimating effect, suggesting that scientific arguments appear so intricate to the general public that they acquire a magic and sublime ‘underside’.

  Denne artikkelen er en kritisk refleksjon over 1990-tallets fornyede interesse for kroppen som antropologisk studieobjekt. Forfatteren hevder at fokuset på kroppslig erfaring og "embodiment" nærmest har blitt så enerådende at det har brutt med tidligere perspektiver på kroppen. Men analytiske schismogeneser kan motvirkes, og da er åpne etnografiske beskrivelser nyttige hjelpemidler. Dette illustreres med et etnografisk materiale som betoner betydningen av hudfarge og kroppslig bevegelse for lokal klassekonstruksjon i en indisk storby. Nettopp det å framholde en helt annen problemstilling -- her: sosiale distinksjoner -- synliggjør kroppens teoretiske mangetydighet og kan dermed bygge bro mellom divergerende perspektiver på kropp og bevegelse.

  Blended Boundaries is a case study of shifting politicization in a plural society. Based on extensive fieldwork in India, it examines how sympathizers of Hindu nationalism related to the political movement over time and explains their alternation between different kinds of 'significant Others', in this case Muslims as well as Dalits.

  Religious boundaries are not necessarily as sharp and antagonistic as the news media lead us to believe. This film shows the everyday life inside and around a Kali temple in the city of Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. The temple building houses a Kali shrine and a smaller Hanuman shrine, and visitors to the site present offerings in both. Through a closer presentation of a priest and three devotees, the film shows why this temple is so important to them. Yet they also occasionally visit holy places of other religious traditions, whether to learn or seek additional divine support. The film is thus a silent critique against the obsession with religious conflict in contemporary debates. God is one, the religions are made by humans, as the priest concludes in the film. A film by Dipesh Kharel and Frode Storaas Based on the resarch of Kathinka Frøystad 1t 25 min. Language: Hindi, with English subtitles.

Hun har tross alt bekjempet demoner for deres skyld. Samtidig betraktes hun som uhyre temperamentsfull. Derfor frykter de hennes sinne og blidgjør henne jevnlig med blomster, søtsaker og røkelse. Hvordan oppfører man seg egentlig overfor en gudinne? Er gudinne-kraften virkelig inni statuen, slik mange hinduer mener? Kan den også trenge inn i tilhengerne slik at de begynner å danse som besatt? Og hvorfor oppsøker hennes tilhengere vel så gjerne sikh-templer, sufi-graver eller kirker?

  Mewat is a cultural region in north India with a predominantly Meo Muslim population. Historically, the interaction of Hindu, Muslim and other religious groups has given the sharing of the region’s many shrines of Bhakti and Sufi saints a pluralistic character. From the 16th to the 19th centuries, these shared shrines and their saints reflected the world of middle-caste/class Meo Muslim peasants upon whom various service castes were dependent under the jajmāni (patron–client system). The Meos’ devotion to these saints was in line with the Bhakti and Sufi ideas that advocated the transcendence of caste and religious identities in favour of peasant values and devotional requirements. However, the rise of nationalist and reform politics at the national level in the 20th century and its extension to Mewat led people to identify themselves as more Hindu or Muslim. In this thesis I explore the malleable nature of these religious boundaries and identities by tracing the history of two shared shrines of the 16th century Bhakti and Sufi saints, Laldas and Shah Chokha. I used ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with Hindu and Muslim individuals, as well as Meo oral folktales and folksongs performed by the Jogi and Mirasi bards and archival methods to explore the pre and post-religious reform eras. Based on this data I argue that the Hindu and Islamic reform movements, the Arya Samaj and the Tablighi Jamaat respectively, came to define religious identity and practices in Mewat from the beginning of the 20th century. The Tablighi Jamaat movement led Meos to see themselves as a Sunni Muslim group, a change that unsettled traditionally shared religious sites and practices and created both visible and unvisible threats for Muslim individuals and Abstract 2 groups who were still engaged in what most Meos considered as un-Islamic practices. In response, the more powerless social groups such as Meo and other Muslim women and the bards and minstrels of Jogi and Mirasi caste backgrounds responded with passive resistance. In this study, I demonstrate that the contestation of previously shared religious sites is deeply rooted in the changing forms of the religious cultures among social-religious groups. The significance of this study is to show how, in the wake of religious reform, separatism and disputes, symbolic aspects of shared shrines undergo religious transformations, while marginalised groups employ strategies of passive resistance to maintain the expression of their shared faiths and beliefs.

  This thesis concerns interfaith couples in India. It looks at their handling of their ritual/religious lives. Despite the differences that may emerge in interfaith marriages, this study tries to explain how interfaith couples create a common religious, spiritual and/or ritual platform in order to maintain their marriages. Ritual practices, festivals, God-belief, religious authorities, families, and gurus and saints are central topics showing their ritual engagement in their day-to-day lives. With a pressure from family and relatives, couples presented in this thesis, mainly discard the orthodoxy and rather share a mutual religious ground of inclusiveness to make their marriages work. The aim of the thesis is to show that the interfaith couples’ capability to maintain an interfaith dialogue is greater than previously understood.

  Hindunasjonalismen i India og dens skiftende fiendebilder er temaet for avhandlingen til Kathinka Frøystad. Ved å følge en gruppe høykastehinduer gjennom seks år, undersøkte hun hvordan skiftende politiske kontekster påvirket lokale fiendebilder. Fra å markere avstand til muslimer i 1992, gikk høykastehinduene gradvis over til å markere avstand mot såkalte daliter (uberørbare). Dels skyldtes dette at hindunasjonalistenes mobilisering mot muslimer ble svekket parallelt med at lavkastene oppnådde økt politisk innflytelse. Frøystad hevder imidlertid at slike endringer først har forklaringskraft når de betraktes gjennom lokalsamfunnets øyne. Hoveddelen av avhandlingen diskuterer derfor lokale oppfatninger av politikk samt høykastehinduers samhandling med muslimer, lavkaster og uberørbare i dagliglivet. Avhandlingens beskrivelse av samspillet mellom lokale hverdagsliv og politiske hendelser er forankret i et empirisk fokus på massemedier og et teoretisk fokus på kommunikasjons- og litteraturteori. Foruten å analysere et konkret case-studie, var hensikten med dette å utvikle et perspektiv på etnisitet og nasjonalisme som ikke bare fanger deres framvekst, men også tilfeller der deres intensitet varierer eller svekkes.
