Full Description

Religion, Performances, and Democracy examines how religion has profoundly influenced the socio‑political and cultural landscape of South Asia, shaping identities, public and private spaces, and social relationships over centuries.

This book delves into the intricate intersections of religion, politics, and performing arts across South Asia from the 1940s onwards—a pivotal era marking the transition from colonial subjugation to independence. It explores how religiosity, competitive devotionalism, and the warped notions of secularism have impacted democratic ideals and cultural idioms in postcolonial nation‑states. Through critical analysis, this volume examines how performing arts—both mainstream and alternative—have navigated these turbulent waters, occasionally challenging religious animosity yet remaining constrained by structural limitations. Drawing on themes of gender, communalism, and cultural politics, this book situates performances within broader discourses of power, identity, and resistance, offering a nuanced understanding of their role in shaping South Asian societies.

This volume is ideal for students, researchers, and academics in performing arts, sociology, political science, religious studies, gender studies, and cultural studies. The book will also appeal to anyone interested in South Asian history, post‑colonial studies, and the dynamic relationship between art and ideology.
