Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume studies the dynamics of Hindu-Muslim relations in a hitherto little-known part of the province in India, North Malabar. It pays special attention to the impact of external political powers on the communal situation. Besides the political history, the text also examines social organization, habits of communality, intermarriage, mutual adaptations in literature, music, architecture, and other indications of cultural osmosis. Sources in the regional language - Malayalam and the Alexander Bowland Papers on Malabar - provide information of use to historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and scholars of comparative religion.
