Description
Given the salience of ideologised forms of religion in fanning or justifying conflicts in different parts of the world today, formulating new understandings of religion that can play a positive role in promoting inter community relations and social justice is an urgent necessity. This is as true of the Islamic case as it is of all other religions.
This book, a collection of interviews with Indian and Pakistani Muslim activists and ulema, seeks to provide a broad perspective on socially engaged understanding of Islam that try to creatively deal with several issues of contemporary concern, particularly those relating to inter faith relations, social justice and peace.
