Exploring the diverse landscape of Hinduism, the author examines its shared traditions, beliefs, and rituals through the concept of "identificatory habitus." This cohesive force unites the religion's myriad gods, practices, and languages while reinforcing its resilience against external influences. By focusing on commonalities rather than differences, the book offers a fresh perspective on the complexities of Hindu identity and provides a framework for understanding its social and religious coherence amidst vast internal plurality.
