Interrogating Communalism

This book examines conflict and violence among religious minorities and the implication on the idea of citizenship in contemporary India. Going beyond the usual Hindu-Muslim question, it situates communalism in the context of conflicts between Muslims and Christians. By tracing the long history of conflict between the Marakkayar Muslims and Mukkuvar Christians in South India, it explores the notion of mobilization of religious identity within the discourse on communal violence in South Asia and discusses the spatial dynamics in violent conflicts. Including rich empirical evidence from historical and ethnographic material, the author shows how the contours of violence among minorities position Muslims as more vulnerable subjects of violent conflicts.

The book will be useful to scholars and researchers of politics, political sociology, sociology and social anthropology, minority studies and South Asian studies. It will also interest those working on peace and conflict, violence, ethnicity and identity as well as activists and policymakers concerned with the problems of fishing communities.

Religion and Citizenship

Series Editor: Surinder S. Jodhka

Professor of Sociology, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India

Social science research and popular discourse on religion and public life have gradually moved away from the popular binaries of communal secular, tradition modern, or community individual. It is now widely recognised that religion and cultural traditions do not simply disappear from public life with economic development. In countries like India, this shift has also been reinforced by the emerging social and political trends where issues relating to citizenship rights along with those of inclusive and just development are raised through identity movements by the historically deprived categories of the Dalits, Adivasis, and religious minorities such as the Muslims.

This positive view of religion parallels changing attitudes in other parts of the world as well. Enhanced flows of labour accompanying the processes unleashed by the onset of globalisation have produced hitherto unknown levels of diversities of cultures and communities almost everywhere in the contemporary world. The neo-migrant is not only visible and culturally different from the native but also arrives with aspiration for citizenship rights and equal status. Growing religious diversity is an obvious and important aspect of this process, engaging with which has become a political and academic imperative.

In countries in the West as well as in the Global South, where the local states and other development actors find it hard to accommodate such diversities within its pre-existing secular welfare systems, they have invariably turned to the faith-based organisations, along with other civil society actors, to use their potential role in enhancing development and service delivery. While these new processes and trends have renewed interest in the study of religion, rigorous social science research on religion and citizenship is still at a nascent stage. This series attempts to fill the gap by bringing together scholarly writing on this important and rapidly expanding area of research in the social sciences.
