Beschreibungen/Notizen
[...]he delinks the devads subject from her Hindu religious identity and focuses instead on her aesthetic identity and her place within the broader community of professional artists in both colonial and contemporary South India. Rather than passively accepting these routinized forms of violence, Shiv Sena women have created a feminine space of violent action, where violence is rationalized in terms of necessity and urgency (54). [...]Shiv Sena women have produced a flexible but assertive form of Hindu nationalism, where womens honor is tied not to religious or moral norms, but instead to womens autonomy and womens capacity to act through what Sen calls counter-violence or speedy justice in urban environments. [...]Baumans book on the interactions between Christianity and the Satnmpanth in colonial Chhattisgarh adds to the provocations raised by Sen, Menon, and Soneji about ideological purity and about subjects that shift between religious and secular modes of being. Baumans study describes how Satnm-Christians reworked Satnm oral traditions so that they wove together with elements of a Christian story. [...]missionaries themselves were active participants in this Satnm-Christian myth-making where continuities between Christianity and a Satnm past were stressed.
