Hinduism and Modernity (Religion and Modernity)

"The scope of the book is extremely broad, covering topics such as Orientalism, women, goddesses, gods, and the central problem of contemporary Hinduism - the rise of Hindu nationalism ... The book will be of interest not only to students of Hinduism but also to all those interested in the sociology of religion more broadly, and indeed everyone interested in the conjunction of modernity and tradition"--BOOK JACKET.

First sentence: The most powerful institutions over time are those whose membranes give the impression they are impermeable, but are the most porous.
