Abstract
This text explores how the book ‘Engaging South Asian Religions: Boundaries, Appropriations, and Resistances’ addresses the complexities of Western scholarly representations of South Asian religions, particularly Hindu religion and Indian culture, in a context of rising identities and contestations. To this end, it focuses on issues such as the continuity and rupture between precolonial and colonial regimes, the application of Western categories to non-Western realities, and the aggressive reception of scholarly works in this field. This text invites the reader to a critical reconsideration of the concepts of the universal and the particular in the understanding of societies.
