Summary: This book studies the interlinking of religious, social and political identities in modern Tamil Nadu. Through interviews with non-brahmin śrīvaiṣṇavas of many castes, but especially belonging to the lower-caste groups, it analyses their histories of discrimination, their negotiation of lived realities, and hopes for the future. The interviews all refer to the history of Śrīvaiṣṇavism, an historically important Hindu sect in the region, the religion’s theology of caste inclusiveness, and history of Brahmin leadership exclusiveness.
