Hybridisation, gospelisation, & discoization
[India’s New Middle Class: Urban Forms of Leisure, Consumption and Prosperity (Cities and the Urban Imperative)
By Christiane Brosius, Routledge India Series: Cities and the Urban Imperative] 2:16 PM
This elegantly produced pot-pourri has some interesting observations as regards the Akshardham Cultural Complex (ACC), such as "Temples as Spiritual and Humanitarian Hospitals " and examines questions like "Is the ACC a theme park or a 'real' pilgrimage site?"
Many of the remarks would apply to Sri Aurobindo Ashram and Centers as well. [TNM]
