Sacred Spaces: Exploring Traditions of Shared Faith in India - Softcover
The politics of communal hatred in recent times has brought under attack the heterodoxy of our religious life. This book explores popular religious cults from various parts of the country that defy the logic of communities as neatly separated from the necessarily opposed to each other.

Synopsis:
Written as a travelogue through 25 darghas, temples and shrines, from Kashmir to Kerela, this book explores what draws devotees from different communities to them in common worship. Blending legend, history, ethnography with critical insights, it reveals the deeply humanist vision of the sacred from the boundaries of caste, even as some of them have become embroiled in communal conflicts.
