Hinduism, nationalism, and varṇāśramadharma

mythologizing and othering the religious other

Diana Dimitrova

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.
