About the Book
This insightful study delves into the social reciprocity and religious tolerance that exists between the Hindu and Muslim communities in India, particularly focusing on the effects of modernization in an urban setting. The author carefully examines the extent to which these communities have influenced each other in their religious, social, economic, and occupational practices. By exploring Varanasi—an ancient city that embodies the convergence of tradition and modernity—the book highlights the remarkable inter-religious interactions and the robust socio-cultural solidarity that binds these communities. Notably, the city has largely avoided conflicts or riots, with the rare instances of unrest often being attributed to political or misguided influences. Through this empirical study, Pandey paints a picture of peaceful coexistence, offering a nuanced understanding of inter-community relations in contemporary India.
