Sharing the Sacred: Practicing Pluralism in Muslim North India
Bigelow, Anna (Professor, Professor, North Carolina State University)
Inter-religious relations in India are notoriously fraught, not infrequently erupting into violence. This book looks at a place where the conditions for religious conflict are present, but active conflict is absent. Bigelow focuses on a Muslim majority Punjab town (Malkerkotla) where both during the Partition and subsequently there has been no inter-religious violence. Bigelow explores the complicated history of the region, going back to its foundation by a Sufisaint in the fifteenth century. Combining archival and interview material, she accounts for how the community's idealized identity as a place of peace is realized on the ground through a variety of strategies.
