Definition

[edit]

Emory University professorJohn Y. Fenton defines the locution as follows:[1]

The term "cultural Hindu" generally refers toDesis with a Hindu family background who have low observance of religious practices and whose identification with the Hindu religious tradition is primarily cultural or communal.[1]

The term has come into vogue as a result ofsecularization.[2] Cultural Hindus, while not religiously devout, may still observe and celebrateHindu festivals, such asDiwali.[3] For these individuals, this commemoration of Hindu festivals, as well as occasionaltemple attendance, serve as a celebration of their heritage.[4]
