EXC 2060 C3-26 - Polemics, Apologetics and Conversion: A Diachronic Study of Religious Change

This project, which brings together ethnographic and archival research methods, studies inter-religious relations through the medium of polemics between different religions in modern South Asia. Going beyond a textual approach, which has dominated the academic studies of polemics, this project situates polemics in everyday social life and focuses on their circulatory networks like social media groups.
