Description
This collection challenges the presumption that Muslims and Hindus are irreconcilably different groups, inevitably conflicting with each other. It depicts a neglected substratum of Muslim-Hindu commonality, and demonstrates how the Indic and Islamicate world views overlap and often converge.

Description
"[Sets] the stage for a rewriting of nearly a thousand years of history to create new understandings of the nature of cultural encounters. . . . The volume breaks free from the polemics of present-day politics and historicist distortions that have seeped into most standard texts."--David Lelyveld, Cornell University
This collection challenges the popular presumption that Muslims and Hindus are irreconcilably different groups, inevitably conflicting with each other. Invoking a new vocabulary that depicts a neglected substratum of Muslim-Hindu commonality, the contributors demonstrate how Indic and Islamicate world views overlap and often converge in the premodern history of South Asia.
