Chandra Mallampalli: Dalit Christians and Indian Pentecostals: De-centering the Ideal Citizen Subject

This talk describes the experiences of India’s Dalit Christians and those of Pentecostals, a rapidly growing expression of Protestant Christianity in India and worldwide. Dr. Mallampalli argues that the rise of Pentecostalism presents an alternative “affective citizenship” that nurtures a sense of belonging through democratic practices and tangible experiences of community and spirituality.
