Product Description
The 17 original essays that comprise this volume examine various aspects of socio-religious and political problems that have been sparked by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. They study the use of religion to evoke mass hysteria and demonstrate how liberalization, globalization and privatization go hand-in-hand with the rise of religion-based politics. Among the issues discussed include: the educated elite's use of religion to cushion a possible underprivileged uprising; NRI funding of identity-based organizations; conversions; and the Hindutva strategy of simultaneously oppressing and attempting to mobilize sections like tribals, Dalits, workers, women and minorities.

A must read book April 30, 2007
This is a must read book for all indians living in India and abroad. The communal politics played by people with vested interests are crippling the relations between muslim and hindus. I invite all secular, open minded individuals to read this amazing book. The author Mr. Ram Punyani is a lifelong secularist and has written numerous book. This book is one of the finest work deserving full schlorship.
