Abstract

This paper brings together an instance where Indian cultural difference is recognised, and accommodated, by the state or its agents, albeit in very different circumstances. The distinctiveness of these circumstances reveals a great deal about the minority status of Indians in British society, historically, and in contemporary times. This paper explores ritual expertise as a key element in transactions of necropower and draws on case studies in Brighton to explore the accumulation of culturally specific knowledge and the right to exercise this knowledge.
