“…Discernment is conscious and cautious in exploring the needs and expectations of the inclusive subject. For geographies of inclusion, discernment is not myopically driven by conversions (Osuri, 2012) but rather by acknowledging the plurality of religions, traditions and ways of being (Zupanov, 2005) or the heterogeneity of Indigenous peoples. Remembering and forgetting are implicated through inclusion and exclusion for deep bonding and healing deep wounding (Pio, 2020; Pio & Essers, 2013; Pio & Waddock, 2020; Priola et al, 2018; Sabharwal, 2014).…”

“…Since the 16th century, Jesuits have been a continuing presence in various parts of the world, including India. In fact, these men were one of the ‘most mobile and the most religious specialists’ (Zupanov, 2005: 2).…”

“…In the early days of their history in India, the Jesuits reproduced and worked within the caste system, for securing the conversion of the upper castes and their help in understanding and translating the religious scriptures into local languages (Zupanov, 2005). The Padrado or Portuguese empire was noted for entering India in search of spices and souls (Correia-Afonso, 1997).…”

Footfalls and heart-prints for Indigenous inclusion

Geographies of inclusion have largely been ignored in Management & Organization Studies (MOS), which tend to be encased within global white Western power over knowledge production. In this paper, I contribute to how non-Western contexts can serve as a counterpoint, yet avoid sharp dichotomies, concerning hegemonic Western discourse in geographies of inclusion. Through ethnography, I seek to provide some answers to the question: How does inclusion happen and how can it be theorised in non-Western contexts. Two central ideas of the paper are: 1. MOS can and should learn from non-Western contexts. Indigenous inclusion, specifically linked to Adivasis in India, illustrates how geographical contexts matter for theorising inclusion which can be enriched by examining non-Western contexts; and 2. Liberation theology through discernment and contemplative action, can provide insights and probe the possibilities of the nature of inclusion. I make no claim to a sole interpretation, rather I offer a guiding framework, grounded in an empirical contribution, for a nuanced understanding of Indigenous inclusion. My poignant hope is to invite other adaptations and traditions to further enrich and unveil understandings of geographies of inclusion for MOS.

“…By the beginning of the 17th century, identifying Brahmans as the descendants of Abraham was quite common'. 22 The second European initiator of this Islamic insight into Hinduism was Guillaume Postel with his treatise De originibus, published in Basel in 1553. The later Jesuit pioneers of the Indianisation of Christianity enthusiastically supported this erroneous idea.…”

‘In the Beginning’: Three Catholic Insights into Hinduism: Vasco Da Gama, Saint Francis Xavier and Roberto De Nobili

The Downside Review

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Before the landing of Vasco Da Gama and his seamen, India did not remain an isolated world: during the 4th century B.C., Alexander the Great reached the Indus. During the Middle Ages, Indian themes enjoyed a remarkable expansion in the West. In the mind of the Portuguese discoverers, the concept of an eastern Christianity created by Saint Thomas the Apostle was a deciding factor. Elsewhere, the Moslem abrahamised Hinduism: this was another source of confusion. The apostle of India, Saint Francis Xavier (1506-1552) belonged to the pre-Tridentine period: therefore, he demonised Hinduism. His meetings with the Brahmans were rather confrontational. But, with Roberto de Nobili (1577-1658) the Christian mission took an alternative path. We must take into account the struggle for indianising Christianity, conceived by Father De Nobili. Unfortunately, this enterprise evaded the key-problem of Hindu esotericism and metaphysical monism.

“…20 No que se refere especificamente ao apostolado na América portuguesa e na espanhola, é preciso considerar que os missionários se defrontaram com questões que tiveram de ser resolvidas localmente, e que deste processo de contato resultaram alterações em suas concepções teológicas e científicas -com as quais, seguramente, entraram em contato durante seu período de formação -, que não puderam escapar à efervescência do contato, como proposto por Zupanov. 21 Pode-se, assim, pensar que muitos jesuítas estiveram bem "longe da imagem estereotipada e triunfal do jesuíta-erudito", que difundiu pelo mundo "as últimas novidades da ciência européia", estando muito mais próximos do "missionário típico", que precisava enfrentar "os problemas concretos da alteridade, da conversão e da própria construção dos impérios com o material que tinha efetivamente à sua disposição". 22 Este aspecto é também ressaltado por Millones Figueroa e Ledezma, para quem, apesar de a Historia Natural y moral de las Índias, de José de Acosta (1590) expressar com clareza "el benefício de la escritura naturalista" e ser um modelo a ser seguido, las experiencias de cada jesuíta fueron muy distintas, y quienes se aventuararon en la escritura tenían muchas veces una geografia, flora y fauna nueva que presentar, explicaciones que proponer (...) y, acaso lo más importante, dirigir el placer y la admiración hacia la alabanza de Dios.…”
