Reading list change

We discussed the availability of my book "Makers of Modern Indian Religions" in class last Thursday. I am afraid I have made a mistake in assuming that this book was available for free on the internet. In fact, it is available for free from Oxford University Press, but dowloading and reading requires that our host institution (University of Oslo) subsrcibes to these services. It does not.

My conclusion, then, is that we change our reading list. You may use Peter van der Veer's "Religious Nationalism" as an alternative overview of some of the large, general questions we are addressing in our course. In addition, I urge you to think about additional literature focusing more specifically on the tradition(s) that you choose to make the subject of your paper this semester. If you feel unsure about this, feel free to contact me.
