2 Kaleidoscopic ways of looking ‘a constantly changing pattern of …reflections as the observer looks into the tube and rotates it’ (SOED 1993: 1470) Twisting the kaleidoscope = a multi-perspectival approach towards South Asian religions

3 Panth, kismet, dharm te qaum Ballard (1996) Punjabi terms used to conceptualise dynamics of religious practice eg shrine of Baba Hasan Das – Participation on basis of kismetic and panthic resonance, even if dharmic practices and qaumic identification is divergent

4 Analysing social space The location of ritual and other practices in social space – Analysing understandings of public and private space (eg purdah) – Association and dissociation in shared space Negotiation and re- negotiation of social space (dynamic not fixed)
