More than half of the population of metropolitan cities like Mumbai\nlives in spaces categorized as \u201cslums\u201d. Social marginalization can be seen as\nbeing overdetermined by territorial stigmatization. The fact that most of the\nurban subalterns, who represent the relatively largest share of the population,\nhave largely to fend for themselves, and the general \u201cinformality\u201d of the\neconomy, find their parallel in the structures of local governance and in the\nsocial and religious fields. To a large extent (larger than among residents of\nmiddle-class suburbs) slum residents operate their religious lives and\nreligious institutions on their own, make their own choices and maintain their\nown translocal networks. Taking the case of Dharavi, long labelled the largest\nslum of Asia, with a population of 1 million people on a little more than 2 square\nkilometres at the heart of Mumbai, the paper discusses the specific take of members\nof this widely neglected section of the populace, especially of Dalits, on\nquestions of religion as well as urbanity. It offers an entry-point into the\nspectrum of options, preferences as well as modes of appropriation within the\ndense and diversified religious field of Dharavi (Mumbai) from the perspectives\nof both individuals as well as communities, or caste groups. It finally points to\nthe little acknowledged difficulties scholarship has of understanding the\nperspectives and the position, and the implied relationship to the urban, of\npeople whose life is shared between city and village, a very common practice among\npeople connected to places like Dharavi. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
