| Research Abstract |
In this cultural anthropological study, I focused on ‘Untouchables’ in contemporary north India investigating about Buddhist movements, their identity consciousness, and life and ritual practices. Concretely, I examined how converted-Buddhists had and negotiated their relationships with neighbors and relativeswho were mostly Hindu majorities. I paid attention especially to the aspects of temporal and spatial ‘continuity’, and considered how converted-Buddhists negotiated their own identity and kept relationships with others in everyday life.
