Provincialising Pluralism

How have South Asian traditions responded to plurality and difference? The question lies at the centre of this collection, inviting us to challenge established conceptions of pluralism and understand South Asian ways of thinking about difference, diversity, and ‘the other’.This diverse collection is the first in-depth treatment of the variety of ways that South Asian traditions theorise plurality. Bringing together case studies across South Asia’s distinctive religious landscape, it marks a significant contribution to re-thinking pluralism in the 21st century.
