Despite the temple's ancient Hindu and Muslim history, an annual festival at Hinglaj has only been established within the last three decades, in part because of the construction of the Makran Coastal Highway, which connects the distant rural shrine with urban Pakistan. Now, an increasingly confident minority Hindu community has claimed Hinglaj as their main religious center, a site for undisturbed religious performance and expression. In Hinglaj Devi, Jürgen Schaflechner studies literary sources in Hindi, Sanskrit, Sindhi, and Urdu alongside extensive ethnographical research at the shrine, examining the political and cultural influences at work at the temple and tracking the remote desert shrine's rapid ascent to its current status as the most influential Hindu pilgrimage site in Pakistan. Schaflechner introduces the unique character of this place of pilgrimage and shows its modern importance not only for Hindus, but also for Muslims and Sindhi nationalists. Ultimately, this is an investigation of the Pakistani Hindu community's beliefs and practices at their largest place of worship in the Islamic Republic today...a topic of increasing importance to Pakistan's contemporary society "... | ||

RACHEL MCDERMOT (BARNARD COLLEGE)
PUBLISHED ON
H-ASIA (JULY, 2019)
COMMISSIONED BY
SUMIT GUHA (HE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN)
I LEAPT AT THE CHANCE TO REVIEW THIS BOOK. HOW MANY
PEOPLE STUDY HINDU GODDESS TRADITIONS IN PAKISTAN AND
IN BALOCHISTAN? HE PHOTOGRAPH ON THE BOOK JACKET, OF
A FAMILY WALKING IN THE UNENDING GRAY DESERT*ONE PRE-
SUMES, TO HINGLAJ DEVI*CONJURES UP INACCESSIBILITY, AR-
DUOUSNESS, AND COMPLETE UNFAMILIARITY. WHAT MIGHT ONE
LEARN ABOUT THIS GODDESS, CLAIMED AS ONE OF THE ITY-ONE
**KTA P**HAS, AND WHAT MUST IT HAVE BEEN LIKE TO DO THE
SIX YEARS OF IELDWORK, 2009-15, THAT WENT INTO THIS STUDY?
JUERGEN SCHALECHNER*S MONOGRAPH AND ASSOCIATED ILM ARE
A MAGISTERIAL, EVOCATIVE ACHIEVEMENT, AND, AS A HINDU
GODDESSES SCHOLAR UNLIKELY TO TRAVEL TO PAKISTAN, I FEEL
PROFOUNDLY GRATEFUL TO HIM FOR HIS RESEARCH.
HINGLAJ DEVI: IDENTITY, CHANGE, AND SOLIDIICATION AT A
HINDU TEMPLE IN PAKISTAN
IS A BOOK ABOUT CHANGE, MEAN-
ING, CONTEST, AND HOPE, AND ONE OF THE LARGER AIMS OF
THE PROJECT IS TO CHALLENGE AND UNDERCUT COMMON AS-
SUMPTIONS ABOUT THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC AS BEING INIMICAL TO
HINDUS AND HINDU SPACES. AS NINETEENTH-CENTURY COLO-
NIAL ACCOUNTS ATEST, PILGRIMAGE TO THE TEMPLE, WHICH IS
NORTH OF THE COAST AND WEST OF KARACHI, USED TO BE A
STRENUOUS, PUNISHING JOURNEY ON FOOT, AND THE MERIT OF
THE PILGRIMAGE WAS COMMENSURATE WITH THE AUSTERITY IN-
VOLVED. SINCE 2001, HOWEVER, WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED MAKRAN COASTAL HIGHWAY, ACCESS
IS MUCH EASIER, CROWDS HAVE INCREASED, AND A GROWING
NEED FOR THE MANAGEMENT AND COHERENCE OF EXPERIENCE
HAS BEEN FELT BY PARTICULAR GROUPS OF PAKISTANI HINDUS.
BECAUSE OF THE REMOTENESS OF THE SITE AND YET ITS NEW AC-
CESSIBILITY, THE CHANGES IN ITS CIRCUMSTANCES, AND THE CON-
TESTATION OVER ITS GODDESS AND HER DEMANDS, HINGLAJ IS A
PERFECT LOCATION FOR THE *IDEALS OF HINDUNESS TO BE PER-
FORMED* (P. 281).
SCHALECHNER RANGES OVER MANY TOPICS RELEVANT TO THE
HINGLAJ TEMPLE. WHAT CAN ONE RESPONSIBLY GLEAN ABOUT
ITS HISTORY? HE IRST MENTION OF THE NAME HINGLAJ DATES
TO BETWEEN THE NINTH AND ITEENTH CENTURIES, AND THE IRST
CLAIM OF THE SITE AS A **KTA P**HA*WHETHER IT WAS THE TOP
OF SATI*S HEAD OR HER NAVEL THAT FELL HERE IS STILL A MAT-
TER OF DEBATE*OCCURS IN THE P**HANIR*AYA, DATED ONLY TO
THE EARLY EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. HE PILGRIMAGE TO HINGLAJ
MAY HOWEVER BE DATED AS FAR BACK AS THE FOURTEENTH CEN-
TURY, OR POSSIBLY EARLIER. DURING THE COURSE OF HIS IELD-
WORK, SCHALECHNER FOUND AS MANY TEXTS AND STORIES OF
ASSOCIATION WITH THE GODDESS AS POSSIBLE, IN URDU, HINDI,
SANSKRIT, GUJARATI, SINDHI, AND BENGALI; HE CONSULTED RE-
LIGIOUS TEXTS, NOVELS, AND EVEN ILMS; HE NOTES CASTE AND
CLAN STORIES FROM VARIOUS MERCHANT, PASTORALIST, FARMING,
AND DALIT GROUPS FROM AREAS IN CURRENT SINDH IN PAKISTAN,
AS WELL AS GUJARAT AND RAJASTHAN IN INDIA; AND HE EVEN
TOOK THE TRIP TO HINGLAJ SEVERAL TIMES, ONE DISCUSSED IN
DETAIL WITH THE KAPRIS OF GUJARAT, IN 2011. A MARVELOUS
ACCOMPANIMENT TO THIS BOOK IS SCHALECHNER*S ILM,
ON
BECOMING GOD
(2011), WHICH DOCUMENTS THIS TRIP.
APART FROM THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MAKRAN COASTAL
HIGHWAY, A SECOND INNOVATION RESPONSIBLE FOR SIGNIICANT
CHANGES TO THE TEMPLE AND ITS MEANING HAS BEEN THE FOR-
MATION IN 1986 OF THE HINGLAJ SHEVA MANDALI (HSM) BY
UPPER-CLASS SINDHI DEVOTEES OF THE LOHANA CASTE. HIS
GROUP HAS MADE A NUMBER OF CHANGES TO THE TEMPLE: IT
TILED OVER PART OF THE ORIGINAL IMAGE OF THE GODDESS, THE
SHAPE OF WHICH HAD FORMERLY GIVEN CREDENCE TO THE CLAIM
BY ITS ZIKRI-MUSLIM DEVOTEES THAT THE TEMPLE ONCE HOUSED
1
H-NET REVIEWS
A MUSLIM GRAVE; IT BEGAN TO EMPHASIZE A YEARLY FESTIVAL
TO THE GODDESS OVER A PILGRIMAGE TO HER SITE, SPATIALIZING
A SEDENTARY EXPERIENCE OVER A MOVEMENT-ORIENTED KINES-
THETIC ONE; IT PURPOSEFULLY NEGLECTED ANCILLARY STOPS ON
THE PILGRIMAGE ROUTE; AND IT INTRODUCED A NUMBER OF RULES
AND REGULATIONS, THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL OF WHICH WAS ITS
PROHIBITION OF ANIMAL SACRIICE (
BALI
) AT THE SHRINE. BEHIND
THE DISCOURSE AGAINST
BALI
IS AN EFORT TO DEINE HINDUS
AS DISTINCT FROM MUSLIM SACRIICERS AT
BAKR **D
(FESTIVAL
OF THE SACRIICE). SCHALECHNER REFERS TO THESE MOVES ON
THE PART OF THE HSM AS AN ATEMPT BY A CERTAIN CLASS OF
DEVOTEES TO ENFORCE A CULTURAL HEGEMONY, BASED ON THEIR
SENSE OF PROPER VERSUS IMPROPER, OR TRUE VERSUS FALSE,
HINDUISM. HE ALSO INTERPRETS THE CHANGES WROUGHT BY
THE HIGHWAY AND THE HSM BY INTRODUCING THE DISTINCTION
BETWEEN THE *SOLIDIICATION* AND *SEDIMENTATION* OF TRA-
DITION: AGENTS OF A SOLIDIFYING TRADITION ARE REACTING TO RE-
CENT MOMENTS OF DISLOCATION BY PUSHING THEIR OWN VIEW-
POINTS BUT HAVE NOT YET CONVINCED THEIR CRITICS, WHEREAS
A SEDIMENTED TRADITION HAS ALREADY SUCCEEDED IN CREAT-
ING A REASONABLY UNDISPUTED INTERPRETIVE TERRAIN. NOTE
THAT, FOLLOWING MICHEL FOUCAULT AND ANTONIO GRAMSCI,
SCHALECHNER DOES NOT CLAIM THAT HEGEMONY AND THE INLU-
ENCING OF PEOPLE*S BEHAVIORS RELY ON VIOLENCE BUT ON IN-
STITUTIONALIZATION AND RATIONALIZATION. HINGLAJ IS STILL SO-
LIDIFYING, AND SCHALECHNER DEVOTES CHAPTER 6 TO DESCRIP-
TIONS OF ATEMPTS BY NON-LOHANA DEVOTEES TO OVERTHROW
THE HSM-INTRODUCED BAN ON ANIMAL SACRIICE.
WHERE IS OUR AUTHOR IN THIS BOOK? HE IS NOT EN-
TIRELY ABSENT FROM ITS PAGES, FOR HE APPEARS OCCASIONALLY
IN NOTES AND STRAY COMMENTS. WITH ONE EXCEPTION, WHEN
HE SPEAKS OF A LONG AND EXHAUSTING TREK TO PHOTOGRAPH
CARVINGS ON A MOUNTAINSIDE APPARENTLY MADE BY LORD
RAMA, WHEN HE HAD UNDERTAKEN THE JOURNEY IN THE TRETA
YUGA, ONE DOES NOT GET AN ANTHROPOLOGIST*S LOG OF A JOUR-
NEY; THERE ARE NO BURNING FEET IN THE SAND OR ADJUDICATIONS
BETWEEN THE VARIOUS COMPETING PERSPECTIVES ON HINGLAJ
REPRESENTED BY HIS INFORMANTS. SOMETIMES HE HINTS AT
FRUSTRATIONS WHEN PEOPLE WOULD NOT TELL HIM INFORMATION
OR SHOW HIM SOURCES THEY CLAIMED TO POSSESS. NEVERTHE-
LESS, WHAT COMES THROUGH CLEARLY IS THE AUTHOR*S COMMIT-
MENT TO SHOWING A DIFERENT SIDE OF PAKISTAN, WHERE, IN
SPITE OF THE FACT THAT MANY HINDUS *LIVE A LIFE OF ANX-
IOUS CAUTION,* THEY CAN EXPERIENCE A *FREE AND UNFETERED
HINDU RELIGIOUS PRACTICE* (PP. 7, 12). HE LAST SENTENCE IN
THE BOOK BEARS WITNESS TO THIS CONCERN: I *WISH THAT OTHER
SUCH STUDIES INTO THE RICH CULTURAL LANDSCAPE OF PAKISTAN
WILL GIVE THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC A PLACE WITHIN SOUTH ASIAN
STUDIES BEYOND THE DOMINANT NARRATIVES OF A FAILED STATE,
ETHNIC VIOLENCE, AND TERROR* (P. 309).
IF I COULD MEET SCHALECHNER, I WOULD ASK HIM A COUPLE
OF QUESTIONS. IN CHAPTER 2 HE CLAIMS THAT HINGLAJ EMERGES
AS THE HALLMARK OF *SYNCRETIC SINDHI NATIONALISM,* BUT IT
IS NOT CLEAR HOW THE SINDHI LOHANA HSM FEELS ABOUT SUCH
A SYNCRETISM, SINCE THEY SEEM INTERESTED IN REMOVING IT
(P. 79). NOR IS IT CLEAR WHAT BALOCHIS THINK ABOUT THE
TEMPLE THAT IS, ATER ALL, LOCATED IN THEIR PROVINCE. I WOULD
ALSO BE VERY INTRIGUED TO HEAR WHAT SCHALECHNER PREDICTS
ABOUT THE FUTURE OF HINGLAJ AND OF HER *SOLIDIFYING* TRA-
DITION. WILL IT BECOME *SEDIMENTED*? ARE DALIT CRITIQUES
OF LOHANA POLICIES OF SUICIENT FORCE TO PREVENT THE VEG-
ETARIANIZING, HINDUIZING PROCESS TO COMPLETE ITS WORK?
MAINLY, I WOULD THANK SCHALECHNER FOR WRITING A
MOST FASCINATING BOOK THAT INVITES HIS READERS (AND ILM
VIEWERS) TO ENTER, VICARIOUSLY, THE WORLD OF A DESERT GOD-
DESS.
