        Uncomfortable and Devious Paths in Dalit Theology and Ideology

        Philip Vinod Peacock 한국민중신학회 2023 Madang: Journal of Contextual Theology Vol.- No.40

        This paper explores the trajectory of Dalit Theology and Ideology, unraveling both uncomfortable facets and emerging trends within this academic and socio-political discourse. The examination is structured into two primary sections: areas of discomfort and the unfolding nuances in Dalit Theology. In the exploration of discomfort, three pivotal concerns are addressed. The "Danger of Essentialism" scrutinizes the construction of an abstract "pure Dalit" identity, exposing the pitfalls of this essentialist approach, including the lack of empirical evidence and the potential silencing of authentic voices within the Dalit community. The subsequent exploration, "Danger of Homogenization," delves into the risks associated with reducing Dalit identity to a singular, homogenized category, emphasizing the need to acknowledge internal variations and alternative voices to avoid oversimplification. The "Danger of Methodological Exclusivism" critiques the exclusive focus on Dalit experience in theological spaces, underscoring the necessity for a broader engagement that addresses societal issues collectively rather than confining Dalit scholars to specific domains. In the section on emerging trends, a multi-faceted examination of identity unfolds. "Interrogating Identity" reveals a shift from victimhood narratives to a focus on Dalit consciousness and resistance. The acknowledgment of multiple identities, including sub-jatis and socio-cultural affiliations, challenges the singular homogenized identity construct. Additionally, the recognition of Dalits in urban spaces reflects a broader understanding of the diverse experiences within the community. The exploration of "Interrogating the Text" exposes the intricate relationship between Dalits and the Bible. Beyond traditional readings, emphasis is placed on community readings, imagination, and dialogical approaches, revealing a dynamic engagement with sacred texts. The analysis also extends beyond the Bible to include folk tales, songs, and experiences of revolt, broadening the hermeneutical landscape. The section "Interrogating Socio-Economic Realities from a Dalit Perspective" scrutinizes Dalit responses to globalization, challenging mainstream anti-globalization narratives and exploring alternative perspectives within the Dalit community. The discourse on reservations transcends the reservation debate to question meritocracy and the structural inequalities embedded in the education system. Finally, the examination of Dalits at the forefront of a new India critically evaluates the potential for reconceiving the nation from a Dalit perspective, challenging dominant and hierarchical values ingrained in the Indian narrative. In conclusion, the abstract emphasizes the urgency of reclaiming devious paths within Dalit Theology. The term "devious" is interpreted in two dimensions: first, as a winding, heuristic approach, encouraging an exploration of untrodden paths; second, as a potentially wicked, heretical tradition that challenges existing power structures. Despite the increasing recognition of Dalit Theology, the call is made to maintain its radical essence by embracing discomfort and unconventional routes, thereby revolutionizing society.
