Middle-Class Dharma is an ethnographic study of upwardly-mobile Hindu women in urban India. Jennifer D. Ortegren explores how women's shifting lifestyle choices in the middle classes are critical for shaping Hindu traditions and identity, and in doing so, argues for how we can understand class as religious.
