However,defining the separation between the two has proved contentious: the state isinvolved in various ways in the direct administration of many religiousinstitutions; and courts are regularly asked to decide on rights linked to religiousfunctions and bodies. Such decisions contribute to (re)defining religiouscategories and practices.

This volume explores how apparently technical legalistic action taking place incourts of law significantly shapes the place Hinduism occupies in Indian andNepalese societies, perhaps even more so than the ideology of any political party.The approach developed in this volume is resolutely historical andanthropological. It considers law as part of social, religious, and politicaldynamics.http://www.marymartin.com/web?pid=224510-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
