Subaltern Public Theology: Dalits and the Indian Public Sphere (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783031238970)

This book delves into the public character of public theology from the sites of subalternity, the excluded Dalit (non) public in the Indian public sphere. Raj Bharat Patta employs a decolonial methodology and explores the topic in three parts: First, he engages with 'theological contexts, ' by mapping global and Indian public theologies and critically analysing them. Next, he discusses 'theological companions, ' and explains 'theological subalternity' and 'subaltern public' as companions for a subaltern public theology for India. Finally, Patta explains 'theological contours' by discussing subaltern liturgy as a theological account of the subaltern public and explores a subaltern public theology for India.
