Abstract
Vinayaraj argues that Dalit theology, as it denies the transcendentalist baggage of Christian philosophy and Theology is an immanent theology. Dalit immanent theology signifies the postcolonial phase of Christian theology through which it goes through teleopoiesis and training in the counter imagination (Spivak) to listen to the silences of the subaltern in the ‘Third World.’ According to this study, Dalit immanent theology invokes three specific turns in Indian Christian theology and philosophy, viz.: (1) An immanent turn; (2) A theopolitical turn; (3) A Polydoxical turn. It is in this theological context that Dalit immanent theology provokes the Christian Church to turn to the relationality, plasticity, and the multiplicity of life.
