Abstract

Conversion to Islam among disadvantaged peoples takes place across the globe, within both Western and non-Western societies. Some cases of conversion cause significantly greater interest than others. The main focus of this chapter is on conversion to Islam among Indigenous peoples. However, as this type of conversion has only recently attracted public and media interest, we wish to develop an analytical framework by reference to a case study of religious conversion among another minority group: the Dalits of India.
