Between Hindu and Christiansheds light on a movement of low caste and Dalit devotees worshipping Jesus in Catholic spaces in Varanasi, the purported heart of Hindu civilization. San Chirico examines the worldview and ways of life of these devotees, along with the Catholic priests and nuns who mediate Jesus, Mary, and other members of the Catholic pantheon in a place never associated with Christianity. San Chirico places this movement within the context of the devotional history of Varanasi, the history of Indian Christianity, the rise of low caste and Dalit emancipatory struggles, and the ascendance of Hindu nationalism to demonstrate that religious categories are not nearly as distinct as they often seem.
