Title
Global Reconstruction of Hinduism: A Case Study of Sri Lankan Tamils in Canada
Abstract
Sri Lankan Tamils began arriving in Canada in the 1980s as refugees. The majority settled in Toronto and Montreal where they soon began reconstructing their religious institutions and temples. Three particular religious institutions, the Ganesha Temple in Toronto, the Thirumurukan Temple in Montreal and the Hindu Temple of Ottawa-Carleton, are examined by the author in order to determine how Tamils are reconstructing Hinduism as a minority religion in Canada under global conditions.
