Although demographically a minority in Kerala, India, Syrian Christians are not a subordinated community. They are caste-, race-, and class-privileged, and have long benefitted, both economically and socially, from their privileged position. Focusing on Syrian Christian women, Sonja Thomas explores how this community illuminates larger questions of multiple oppressions, privilege and subordination, racialization, and religion and secularism in India. In Privileged Minorities, Thomas examines a wide range of sources, including oral histories, ethnographic interviews, and legislative assembly debates, to interrogate the relationships between religious rights and women’s rights in Kerala. Using an intersectional approach, and US women of color feminist theory, she demonstrates the ways that race, caste, gender, religion, and politics are inextricably intertwined, with power and privilege working in complex and nuanced ways. By attending to the ways in which inequalities within groups shape very different experiences of religious and political movements in feminist and rights-based activism, Thomas lays the groundwork for imagining new feminist solidarities across religions, castes, races, and classes.

Why is the topic of religion so contentious? Since childhood, everywhere he goes, Chacko sees a “clash of heavens” between people of different religions. He was brought up in the Christian Mar Thoma Church in a small village in India in the 1940s and has practised Christianity throughout his life. However, as he travels around the world, from India to Canada via Ghana, and witnesses political transitions and coups, acts of terrorism and war, and learns more about various religions, he is drawn into deep discussions with friends about belief, the Bible, and God. Was Jesus really a historical figure? Why are there different versions of the creation story? How does Darwin’s Theory of Evolution fit in? Why is God referred to as “Father,” and not “Mother” or “Sister”? Who is God? Along his journey of discovery and truth, Chacko meets “angels” from all walks of life who contribute to his outlook on humanity—but also bring him to question himself even more. Will his quest ever end? The Clash of Heavens: A Journey of Discovery with Angels explores the spiritual conflicts that can both disconnect and connect us from each other, the courage it takes to question the beliefs you’ve been taught in order to find your own truth, and how religion has shaped the world, from practices and folklore to beliefs and actions.

"His Journey is the story of how life drives an individual, through twists and turns, to his final and unexpected destiny. It is also a detailed and intimate account of growing up as a middle-class Catholic boy in the Kerala of the 1950s, with the rumblings of revolutionary social change in the background. The story takes the hero from the backwoods of Kerala to Chennai and onwards to Delhi, where he falls in love only to be drowned in a life-shattering tragedy. On recovery, he discovers his real destiny, which is a spiritual one – the care of the sick and the destitute. The novel also delves into the political and religious crisis of faith of the hero. It is a highly readable chronicle, not only of an individual’s quest for meaning, but also of an era of Kerala’s history that is now largely forgotten.” - Paul Zacharia, well-known Malayalam Novelist & Short Story writer""Reading His Journey is an experience of a journey through history in which we meet the dust-covered footprints of the travellers, who have vanished behind the curtain forever, but those footprints remind us the distance we have travelled. Apart from the attractive style of storytelling, the novelist has provided a glimpse into the socio-political scenario of Kerala, the God's own country, during 1950s."" - Rafeeq Ahmed, reputed Malayalam Lyricist and Novelist ""Throughout the novel, the author spices his descriptions with quite realistic and memorable scenes… Similarly, with very brief and subtle touches, personalities of several characters are etched in the readers' memory. Written in simple English and in a flowing style, the novel makes an enjoyable reading."" - Excerpts from the Foreword by Unnikrishnan Thiruvazhiyodu
