Bauman, a scholar of religion at Butler University, draws on interviews, fieldwork and a wide scholarly literature on Hindu nationalism and discusses the Kandhamal riots of 2007 and 2008 as its central case study of large-scale communal violence against Christians.FactsCross-Tradition ConnectionsSourcesClaims Backed By This Source (16 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsCitationAuthorWell-attestedChad M.
