Religion and Conflict in Modern South Asia is one of the first
single-author comparisons of different South Asian states around
the theme of religious conflict. Based on new research and
syntheses of the literature on 'communalism', it argues that
religious conflict in this region in the modern period was never
simply based on sectarian or theological differences or the clash
of civilizations. Instead, the book proposes that the connection
between religious radicalism and everyday violence relates to the
actual (and perceived) weaknesses of political and state
structures. For some, religious and ethnic mobilisation has
provided a means of protest, where representative institutions
failed. For others, it became a method of dealing with an uncertain
political and economic future. For many it has no concrete or
deliberate function, but has effectively upheld social stability,
paternalism and local power, in the face of globalisation and the
growing aspirations of the region's most underprivileged citizens.
