This book delves into the public character of public theology from the sites of subalternity, the excluded Dalit (non) public in the Indian public sphere. Raj Bharat Patta employs a decolonial methodology and explores the topic in three parts: First, he engages with ¿theological contexts,¿ by mapping global and Indian public theologies and critically analysing them. Next, he discusses ¿theological companions,¿ and explains ¿theological subalternity¿ and ¿subaltern public¿ as companions for a subaltern public theology for India. Finally, Patta explains ¿theological contours¿ by discussing subaltern liturgy as a theological account of the subaltern public and explores a subaltern public theology for India.
