Join Dr.Melanie Barbato, Lecturer at RWTH Aachen University, Germany, for an insightful academic session hosted by FLAME University’s India Centre.
The session titled 'Thinking Interreligious Studies from an Indian Vantage Point' aims to explore how interreligious studies might be reimagined when the Indian experience is placed at the center—not merely as an object of study, but as a conceptual vantage point. Drawing attention to India’s historical absence of a singular notion of “religion” alongside its rich traditions of dialogue, debate, and plural engagement, the talk reflects on how ideas of inter-religiosity, dialogue, and research can be understood differently from within the Indian context. The session offers thoughtful perspectives on interreligious dialogue, conceptual plurality, and the negotiation of religious identities, contributing to a growing and evolving field of scholarship.
