Hinduism, nationalism, and varṇāśramadharma
mythologizing and othering the religious other
pp. 63-96
Abstrakt
In the following, I discuss the mythologizing and othering of Hinduism's religious others as revealed in several representative plays in the period 1880–1960. I will focus on the inner and outer "others." The analysis of the inner "others' is intrinsically related to the interpretation of varṇāśramadharma (dharma, or moral and religious duty related to varṇa or class, caste, and āśrama, or social stage in life) in the plays.
