Description

This text looks at the key features of modern communalism that developed in Bengal in the 1920s. While communalism is normally seen in terms of violent physical encounters, this book locates it in multiple sites, ranging from market disputes, concern over the decline in Hindu numbers, abductions, to near civil war over the right to play music before mosques.
