During the 5-year conference cluster ten conference themes will be addressed. A novel conference format with three distinct modules will allow for in-depth discussions. The first conference year had a Platform, addressing the question "Are there native religions in India"; a Roundtable, taking up the issue of ‘Colonialism and religion in India’ and three Parallel Paper sessions, addressing "Evolutionary explanations of religion," "Indians are Aryans, so what?" and "The caste system and Indian religion".
