Resumo: Analyzing the construction of Hinduism as a modern religion requires considering self-identification processes significantly influenced by otherness. Firstly, we examine colonial relations between Great Britain and India, through the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, emphasizing the reinterpretation of belongingness to the religious community (the Hindu community). Secondly, we analyze the influence of emigration from the Indian subcontinent on the representation of Hindu identity. We look at the questioning of criteria of belonging to the Hindu community, as well as the construction of a self-image. Lastly, we present and examine speeches made by Swami Vivekananda, related to the subjects of Hindu identity and religion, emigration and diffusion of Hindu beliefs and practices worldwide

O artigo detém-se, em primeiro lugar, no exame das relações coloniais de dominação entre Grã-Bretanha e Índia, entre os séculos 18 e 20, e, por conseguinte, em processos de reinterpretação da noção de pertença à comunidade religiosa, então caracterizada como comunidade hindu. Em segundo lugar, analisa a influência de processos de emigração a partir do subcontinente indiano sobre a representação da identidade hindu. Consideraram-se o questionamento de regras de pertença à comunidade hindu, bem como a construção da autoimagem. Por fim, apresentam-se e analisam-se discursos de Swami Vivekananda relacionados aos temas da identidade e da religião hindus, da emigração e da difusão de práticas e crenças hindus em âmbito mundialPontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2014-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/rever/article/view/20272REVER: Journal for the Study of Religion; Vol. 14 No. 1 (2014): Religiões Indianas; 152-178REVER: Revista de Estudos da Religião; v. 14 n. 1 (2014): Religiões Indianas; 152-1781677-1222reponame:Rever (São Paulo.
