Utopias in Conflict: Religion and Nationalism in Modern India

"Embree is much against prevailing views of India, and that is good in stirring thought. I have modified my views about pluralism in India as a result of reading this book. Embree raises important and prickly questions."--Ninian Smart, University of California, Santa Barbara "Especially significant about this work is its focus upon 'fundamentalistic' elements within both religions and nationalisms which are now competing for dominance in South Asia. With rising concern over many kinds of fundamentalism in South Asia, this very sensitive analysis of the roots of another form of fundamentalism, which has strong ties to indigenous culture in South India, is especially timely."--Robert Frykenberg, University of WisconsinEmbree, Ainslie T. is the author of 'Utopias in Conflict: Religion and Nationalism in Modern India' with ISBN 9780520068667 and ISBN 0520068661.
