Reviews

Hindu, Muslim is a welcome contribution to a growing body of literature on religious and social identities in South Asia. In prioritizing depth over breadth, the volume offers a robust, refreshing set of viewpoints that add layers of complexity to a subject of interest to all South Asianists. * Audrey Truschke, Professor, Rutgers University-Newark, USA * Ranging from the earliest Arab writings on Indian culture to today’s “love jihad”-- with chapters embracing politics, musicology, memory studies, literary studies, art history, and much more -- this timely volume explores the myriad and complex ways that peoples of two great religious traditions have responded to each other. * Richard M. Eaton, Professor of History, University of Arizona, USA *
