Summary:Dealing with the relationship between communalism and globalization in South Asia, this book addresses the issue of time scale and causality of the two concepts, and asks whether globalization has amplified or muted the processes of communalism. Contributions look at the concurrent histories of communalism and globalization in four South Asian contexts - India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka - as well as in various diasporic locations. Encompassing different disciplinary and theoretical perspectives, and a range of methodologies, the book offers substantial scholarly analysis that base arguments on close-up views of specific historical and contemporary phenomena. Contributors argue that communalism is not a resurgence of tradition, but rather an inherently modern phenomenon and a product of the fundamental agencies and ideas of modernity. Similarly, it is also argued that globalization should not be identified as a unique and unprecedented process. With contributions by some of the most notable scholars working on communalism in South Asia and its diaspora as well as a selection of challenging new voices, the book is an important stimulation of new debates surrounding the relationship between communalism and globalization, and is a useful contribution to studies on South Asia and Asian History.
