The Politics of Religion in South and Southeast Asia
The notion of a ‘politics of religion’ refers to the increasing role that religion plays in the politics of the contemporary world. This book presents comparative country case studies on the politics of religion in South and South Asia, including India, Pakistan and Indonesia. The politics of religion calls into question the relevance of modernist notions of secularism and democracy, with the emphasis instead on going back to indigenous roots in search of authentic ideologies and models of state and nation building. Within the context of the individual countries, chapters focus on the consequences that politics of religion has on inclusive nation-building, democracy and the rights of individuals, minorities and women. The book makes a contribution to both the theoretical and conceptual literature on the politics of religion as well as shed light on the implications and ramifications of the politics of religion on contemporary South Asian and South East Asian countries.

Now the situation under his daughter Sheikh Hasina is much worse. She is at the top of an Indian p...

They refused to accept this identity not only because it does not fit, but also because it curtails their ability to engage society in multiple terms and to exercise their rights as citizens. Bangladeshis' experiences were colored by gender, generation, and social class. While the first-generation Bangladeshis maintain strong connections with Bangladesh and prefer to be identified as Bangladeshi-Americas, the second-generation identifies as "desi"--a generic South Asian identity, which helps them reconcile their parents' expectations and the demands of their lives in the United States. Bangladeshi diasporic media are not maintain connections with their old home, but also are an integral part of their lives in the diaspora." -- Provided by publisher
