The first part of the book explores idioms of selffashioning in global platforms and religious congresses. The second part explicates the nature of movements of such ideas. Cumulatively they offer fresh and invaluable insights into their histories in modern South Asia against the backdrop of and in relation to wider transcultural global flows.
