Description: "Previous scholarship on communalism in modern South Asia has focused almost exclusively on colonial British India; or on the contemporary Indian scene - on the post-1980 resurgence of communal rioting associated with the politicking of the Hindu Right. Copland's book adds a new dimension to this literature by factoring in the roughly 20 per cent of the population of colonial India that lived in the erstwhile Indian princely states."--BOOK JACKET.
