Description
The Construction of Religious Boundaries lays the foundation for a major reinterpretation of religion and society in India. By extensively using post-structuralist theory, Professor Oberoi suggests an alternative to earlier scholarly narratives that saw Sikhism, Hinduism, and Islam as historically given categories encompassing well-demarcated and self-conscious units of religious identity. The theoretical advances are made through a searching examination of Sikh historical materials.
