Asking how it came to be common sense that one-fifth of India's population known as Dalit or 'untouchable' are and have always been Hindu, this book unearths evidence that tells a different story. The sanitation labor castes-those Dalit communities that provide nearly all of South Asia's sanitation workers-understood themselves in the colonial period to constitute an autonomous religious community separate from both Hindus and Muslims and centered on an antinomian prophet named Lal Beg. Weaving together history, ethnography, and linguistics, it charts the trajectory of this tradition: its apparent decline under pressure from mid-twentieth century nationalists and Hindu reformers, including Gandhi, as well as its clandestine continuation in the present. A chronicle of Dalit lives in the north Indian city of Lucknow and a meditation on the ethics and semiotics of secrecy, this book studies the history of the architects of the majoritarian project and of those who quietly undermine it"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Hinduism and politics $z Lucknow. $z Lucknow. 650 0 $a Dalits $z Lucknow $z Lucknow $x Religion. 650 0 $a Dalits $x Political activity $z Lucknow. $z Lucknow. 650 0 $a Caste $x Hinduism. $x Hinduism. 650 0 $a Caste $x Political aspects $z Lucknow. $z Lucknow. 650 0 $a Social integration $x Hinduism. $x Hinduism. 650 0 $a Political sociology $z Lucknow. $z Lucknow. 651 0 $a Lucknow (India) $x Politics and government. 651 0 $a Lucknow (India) $x Religion. 650 7 $a Caste $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00848400 650 7 $a Caste $x Hinduism. $x Hinduism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00848407 650 7 $a Dalits $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00887197 650 7 $a Dalits $x Religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00887199 650 7 $a Hinduism and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957168 650 7 $a Political sociology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069877 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093763 650 7 $a Social integration $x Hinduism. $x Hinduism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02018769 651 7 $a India $z Lucknow. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01213583 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lee, Joel G. $t Deceptive majority $d Cambridge ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781108920193 $w (DLC) 2020049865 830 0 $a South Asia in the social sciences ; $v 13. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014206.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=489AAABC4EAA11EDAB62559A42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
