Hinduism and Religious Freedom: A Sourcebook of Scriptural, Theological, and Legal Texts

Sharing core norms and values
Jun 24, 2017 | Berkley Center, Sara Singha, Anuttama Dasa

Hinduism’s complex and dynamic relationship with religious freedom has been mediated by its interaction - sometimes cooperative, sometimes conflictual - with other religious traditions and communities. Because the Hindu tradition is vast, fluid, and dynamic, it often has an absorptive quality. In this sourcebook by the Berkley Center, Sara Singha and Anuttama Dasa explore the ways in which Hinduism and Hindus have dealt with religious freedom across the centuries. They discuss how Hindu reformers have sought to interpret the tradition as pluralistic, and the challenges that more exclusivist outlooks pose for a robust understanding of religious freedom.
