520 | |a In the 148 years since the Indian community settled in South Africa, the Ramcharitmanas has played a significant role among Hindi speaking Hindus in shaping both their religious life and their social identity. The text has promoted familiarity with the Hindi language, Hindu religious beliefs, practices and culture in a country predominantly Christian by charting a route to maintaining Hindu religious and social identity. The text in this case is not limited to its written form but more important is its transmission in the oral tradition. Many Hindi speakers in the initial period relied on the memorized text. Only later the more standard written texts became available. This paper explores the extent to which the text of the Tulsi Ramayan directly impacted on the survival of Hindi language and culture. | ||
