Abstract In this new study on the socio-cultural developments in India and inter-religious dialogue the a. warns us of the dangers in inter-religious dialogue of reinforcing the contempt for popular religiosity and its values and upholding only the value system of the elites, thus conferring legitimacy on an unjust system. It may also promote a type of modernization that alienates the masses from their culture. It may finally reinforce the alliance forged in India between revivalism and consumerism. Authentic dialogue must be among equals and not only be based on liberation theology but also on the liberation of theology from the dominant value system.
