RELIGION AND POLITICS IN
SOUTH ASIA
This revised edition of Religion and Politics in South Asia presents a comprehensive
analysis of the interaction of religion and politics in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India,
the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
The book highlights that in recent decades, religion, religio-political parties, and
religious rhetoric have become dominant features of the political scenes in all seven
countries. By presenting each country’s political system and the socio-economic
environment within which the interactions of religion and politics are taking place,
chapters explore various factors that afect both the lives of people in the region
and global politics. Designed in an easy-to-follow structure, the book includes
sections on the history and politics, major religions and religious composition of
the population, legal and constitutional provisions regarding religion, religious
freedom and the treatment of minorities, the political landscape, and religio-
political parties and groups within the countries. In doing so, the book addresses
concerns including the efects of religio-political interactions on political stability,
human rights, and the implications for internal and external security situations.
A timely contribution written by experts in their feld, this book is a useful
guide to religion and politics and will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate
students in South Asian politics, Asian politics, religion and politics, history, and
international studies.

Confict Resolution and Reconstruction at the School of Law and Government

It is a great pleasure to see the publication of the second edition of the volume.
Since the frst edition was published more than a decade ago, signifcant changes
have taken place in South Asian politics and the interplay between religion and
politics has become more intense, which required extensive updating and additions
to the chapters. Two new chapters have been added to this edition. I am deeply
grateful to the authors, those who have taken the time to update their chapters
and those who have newly joined us. Without their enthusiastic participation, this
project would have not been possible. My colleague and friend Nancy Lind had
taken time out of her busy schedule to read the chapters and made suggestions
for improvement and clarity. I am deeply thankful to her. Thanks to Dorothea
Schaefter, editor at Routledge, for her support and repeated reminder for the sec-
ond edition. Her persistence and patience for this volume, for the frst and the
second editions, have been a source of inspiration. Alexandra de Brauw, of Rout-
ledge, deserves special acknowledgment for providing more support and help than
I could ask for. I am thankful to Nick Craggs and Chris Matthews for taking care
of the production process. Thanks to the anonymous reviewers for reading the frst
edition and making suggestions for further improvements. My research assistant at
Illinois State University, Zunaid Almamun, helped me put together the manuscript
and compile the appendices; my sincere thanks to him.

"Kas, Denry!" sanoi tuo ihmeellinen mustapukuinen olento
pehmeästi.
"Kas, Ruth!"
"Oh!" virkkoi Ruth. "Minä olen ollut niin paljon poissa Englannista.
Me juttelimme juuri virkistysmatkoista. Sanoin rouva Cotterillille, että
heidän pitäisi tänä vuonna lähteä muutteen vuoksi Sveitsiin."
II.
Sen verran rouva Cotterill. Hän vaipui tuolille. Hänellä ei ollut enää
pienintäkään häpeän tuntoa, hän ei välittänyt vähääkään siitä, mikä
oli hänen arvolleen sopivaa. Hän tuntui unohtaneen, ettei erinäisiä
asioita käy pohtiminen vierailuhuoneessa. Hän oli poistunut
huoneesta valtuusmies Cotterillin rouvana; palatessaan hän ei ollut
erikoisesti mitään, vain tappion olennoima. Muutos oli tapahtunut
viidessä minuutissa.
Ja aivan kuin hän olisi sanonut: "Jaa, sinä olet koko sukkela
nuorukainen etkä ole onnistunut niinkään huonosti tässä elämässä;
ja palkinnoksi minä aion suoda sinulle etuoikeuden kuulla meidän
onnettomuudestamme, joka jostain merkillisestä syystä tuottaa
minulle suurempaa kunniaa kuin sinun onnesi sinulle itsellesi, nuori
mies."
"Vielä nytkin selviäisin vallan sievästi, jos saisin vain pari tuhatta
käsiini — ja vakuutta minulla on yllin kyllin."
III.
Denry nyökkäsi.
"Oh, minä en ole laisinkaan samaa mieltä kuin sinä", sanoi Ruth.
"Arveletko todellakin, että hänen pitäisi erota vanhemmistaan juuri
nyt? Hänen paikkansa on vanhempien luona. Ja sitä paitsi, näin
meidän kesken sanoen, hänellä on siellä paljoa suuremmat
mahdollisuudet päästä naimisiin kuin tässä kaupungissa — kaiken
tämän jälkeen. Tietysti minusta on kovin ikävää erota hänestä — ja
myöskin rouva Cotterillista. Mutta…"

"Miksi?"

"Hyvästi."
"Hyvästi."
"Kiitos. Hyvästi."
