The book Composite Culture - A Reappraisal deals with the mingling of external with the indigenous in different ways in the society. Our objective is to present a comprehensive picture of composite culture of medieval as well as modern India in its varied dimensions and perspectives. The immigrants from Central and West Asia from different cultural, social and political background started to began accommodating themselves to the customs and cultures of India. This mingling has the impact on the indigenous in varied ways in the realms of art, architecture, literature, music, social and political institutions and on technology etc. Akbar s ideas and policies not only encouraged such admixture, but also much innovation as well. There was also a conscious effort to initiate inter-cultural communication through translations and the study of different religious and social traditions. The Mughal Empire thus further strengthened the concept of India as a multicultural country, with a preponderance of unifying features. The present book makes an attempt to highlight the precious legacy not only from the national integration point of view but the other aspects of the society also.

"A gripping and troubling account of the origins of our turbulent times.” —Jill Lepore, author of These Truths: A History of the United States When—and how—did America become so polarized? In this masterful history, leading historians Kevin M. Kruse and Julian E. Zelizer uncover the origins of our current moment. It all starts in 1974 with the Watergate crisis, the OPEC oil embargo, desegregation busing riots in Boston, and the wind-down of the Vietnam War. What follows is the story of our own lifetimes. It is the story of ever-widening historical fault lines over economic inequality, race, gender, and sexual norms firing up a polarized political landscape. It is also the story of profound transformations of the media and our political system fueling the fire. Kruse and Zelizer’s Fault Lines is a master class in national divisions nearly five decades in the making.

Part of the ‘Religion and Citizenship’ series, this book is an ethnographic study of marginality of Muslims in urban India. It explores the realities and consequences of socio-spatial segregation faced by Muslim communities and the various ways in which they negotiate it in the course of their everyday lives. By narrating lived experiences of ordinary Muslims, the author attempts to construct their identities as citizens and subjects. What emerges is a highly variegated picture of a group (otherwise viewed as monolithic) that resides in very close quarters, more as a result of compulsion than choice, despite wide differences across language, ethnicity, sect and social class. The book also looks into the potential outcomes that socio-spatial segregation spelt on communal lines hold for the future of the urban landscape in South Asia. Rich in ethnographic data and accessible in its approach, this book will be useful for scholars and researchers of sociology, social anthropology, human geography, political sociology, urban studies, and political science.
