Exploring the intersection of post-colonial theory and the study of religion, Richard King challenges conventional understandings of concepts like mysticism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. He argues for a reinterpretation of religion through the lens of cultural studies, utilizing insights from influential thinkers like Foucault and Said. This work offers critical reflections on Religious Studies and Indology, encouraging readers to reconsider how these fields are approached in a contemporary context.
