The Oxford History of Hinduism: Modern Hinduism focuses on
developments resulting from movements within the tradition as well as
contact between India and the outside world through both colonialism
and globalization. Divided into three parts, part one considers the
historical background to modern conceptualizations of Hinduism. Moving
away from the reforms of the 19th and early 20th century, part two
includes five chapters each presenting key developments and changes in
religious practice in modern Hinduism. Part three moves to issues of
politics, ethics, and law. This section maps and explains the powerful
legal and political contexts created by the modern state—first the
colonial government and then the Indian Republic—which have shaped
Hinduism in new ways. The last two chapters look at Hinduism outside
India focusing on Hinduism in Nepal and the modern Hindu diaspora.
