This book builds on the latest research on India's partition and the politics of communal identity and explores the intricate relationship between community and religion on the one hand, and space or geography on the other. Reconsidering the role of space from the quotidian neighbourhood through to the urban, regional, national and international, the chapters in this volume examine how religious community identities have been mapped onto particular spaces, and transformed through the interaction of spatial levels scales. Gurdwaras, mosques, temples, homes, shops, mohallas and the administrative border making of states at urban, regional and national levels have all been implicated in this complex history of mapping and making religious communities. Exploring this rich history through a range of detailed case studies that straddle partition in 1947, the book draws from a number of methods and sources, including archival work, visual analysis, oral history and ethnography. The chapters in this book were originally published in South Asia: The Journal of South Asian Studies and are accompanied by a new updated Introduction.
