Ritual, Caste, and Religion in Colonial South India

This book explores the impact that notions of ritual, caste, and religion had on society in 19th–20th century colonial South India. The authors present detailed studies of Tamil and Telugu sources, with a particular focus on the newly established print media of the time. They show how these concepts played a crucial role in the formation of social, cultural, and religious identities.
