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. 517 3 $aReligion & Conflict in Modern South Asia 606 $aSocial conflict$zSouth Asia$xHistory 606 $aSocial conflict$xReligious aspects$xHistory 607 $aSouth Asia$xReligion 615 0$aSocial conflict$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial conflict$xReligious aspects$xHistory. 676 $a306.60954 686 $aHIS017000$2bisacsh 700 $aGould$b William$f1973-$0322343 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781574903321 996 $aReligion and conflict in modern South Asia$93828827 997 $aUNINA
