Reviews

'The book as a whole has a great deal to offer both to students of South Asian diaspora as well as religion scholars. The first part of the book is certainly for specialized readers, whereas the second part is illuminating to a diverse readership.' - Pratap Kumar Penumala, Numen 69 (2022).
