the attitude of Tamil Dalit intellectuals and political leaders towards the question of religion.
It seeks to discover the role of religion in their discourse and how they utilise religious matters
to mobilise their fellow caste members. It maps their efforts to distance themselves from
Hinduism and to propagate the particularity of Dalit deities and Dalit religion as a part of their
newly constructed identity. Their opinions on the possibility of conversion are also briefly
noted. These attitudes are examined from the viewpoint of the differing emancipation strategies
of the three major Tamil Dalit castes. The Paraiyar as well as the Arunthaiyar leaders try
to reject the Hindu identity, though the common folk consider themselves to be Hindus. The
Devendrars on the contrary associate themselves with the Hindu gods and Hindu temples, they
claim direct connection with some of them. Even they, however, tend to emphasise particularity
of their deities as a part of their identity buildingPracoviště Orientální ústav Kontakt Zuzana Kvapilová, kvapilova@orient.cas.cz, Tel.: 266 053 950 Rok sběru 2020 Elektronická adresa https://studiadecultura.up.krakow.pl/index.php/argument-journal/article/view/6713
