Are we Hindus? Religion in contemporary Tamil Dalit discourse

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Based primarily on original sources in Tamil as well as interviews, the article seeks to portraynthe attitude of Tamil Dalit intellectuals and political leaders towards the question of religion.nIt seeks to discover the role of religion in their discourse and how they utilise religious mattersnto mobilise their fellow caste members. It maps their efforts to distance themselves fromnHinduism and to propagate the particularity of Dalit deities and Dalit religion as a part of theirnnewly constructed identity. Their opinions on the possibility of conversion are also brieflynnoted. These attitudes are examined from the viewpoint of the differing emancipation strategiesnof the three major Tamil Dalit castes. The Paraiyar as well as the Arunthaiyar leaders trynto reject the Hindu identity, though the common folk consider themselves to be Hindus. ThenDevendrars on the contrary associate themselves with the Hindu gods and Hindu temples, theynclaim direct connection with some of them. Even they, however, tend to emphasise particularitynof their deities as a part of their identity building
