| Summary: | In India, where there is general appreciation of Western and especially American culture thanks to globalisation, religion (Hinduism, in particular) is perceived to represent Indian culture and so the preference is for it not to indicate any western influence. Jonathan D. James illustrates this well in his book McDonaldisation, Masala McGospel and Om Economics: Televangelism in Contemporary India. The book is a study of Charismatic Christianity preached by televangelists in India, and the author uses a range of methodologies such as thematic content analysis, ethnography, survey and interviews to do this. |
