| Summary: | From the punctuated invocations of legal clauses through the 20th and 21st centuries, to the post-2000 vilifications, attacks or murders of/on painters, scholars, students and social activists, allegations of blasphemy have often problematized public spheres across India. In this broad backdrop, nuanced tendencies have emerged (and continue to emerge) in Kerala, a state with a strong history of social reforms and political interventions on institutional networks of religion. The paper will focus on two trajectories: the narrative exclusions and communal vocalizations in select public performances as well as emergent institutional hegemonies that institute parallel orders in contemporary contexts of neoliberal state building. |
