Summary: This book explores the key motif of the religious other in devotional ( bhakti ) literatures and practices from across the Indian subcontinent unmasks processes of representation that involve adoption, appropriation, and rejection of different social and religious agents. The book reconsiders and challenges inherited notions of the bhakta ’s or devotee’s other. Considering the ways in which bhakti might be conceived as having an inter-regional impact―as a force, discourse, network, mythology, ethic―the book critically engages with extant scholarly narratives about what bhakti is and traces when and how those narratives have been used.
