On March 10, Professor Deepa Das Acevedo gave a virtual talk about her forthcoming book, The Battle for Sabarimala, to the American Bar Foundation, where she is a Visiting Scholar for the 2020–21 academic year.
The Battle for Sabarimala is the first monograph length treatment about the dispute over gender equality and religious freedom involving the Sabarimala temple in Kerala, India. Building on over a decade of research into secular governance and temple management in India, Das Acevedo identifies the battle for Sabarimala as a key urning point for India’s approach to religion-state relations.
