宗教民族主义在当今世界许多地方都是一个至关重要的主题。彼得·货车·德伟对印度宗教与政治关系的及时研究远远超出了其他关于这一主题的书籍。他汇集了几个学科-人类学，历史，社会理论，文学研究-展示印度宗教身份是如何通过朝圣，移民，语言发展以及最近的印刷和视觉媒体塑造的。货车德伟尔的中心焦点是阿约提亚巴巴里清真寺的长期争端，1992年12月，印度教徒和穆斯林之间发生了血腥冲突。一系列发人深省的例子描述了宗教身份的历史建构：奶牛保护协会和苏菲派坟墓，深闺和女性身体形象的政治挪用，萨尔曼·拉什迪和小说在民族主义中的作用，圣雄甘地和斯瓦米·维韦卡南达，锡克教徒中的卡尔萨运动，民族主义考古学和电视转播的罗摩衍那。货车德伟尔提供了一个新的角度来看待宗教组织的重要性和仪式在民族主义形成中的作用。他的工作推进了我们对当代印度的理解，同时也为这个世纪最令人不安的问题之一提供了重要的理论见解。
Religious nationalism is a subject of critical importance in much of the world today. Peter van der Veer's timely study on the relationship between religion and politics in India goes well beyond other books on this subject. He brings together several disciplines - anthropology, history, social theory, literary studies - to show how Indian religious identities have been shaped by pilgrimage, migration, language development, and more recently, print and visual media. Van der Veer's central focus is the lengthy dispute over the Babari mosque in Ayodhya, site of a bloody confrontation between Hindus and Muslims in December 1992. A thought-provoking range of other examples describes the historical construction of religious identities: cow protection societies and Sufi tombs, purdah and the political appropriation of images of the female body, Salman Rushdie and the role of the novel in nationalism, Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekananda, the Khalsa movement among Sikhs, and nationalist archaeology and the televised Ramayana. Van der Veer offers a new perspective on the importance of religious organization and the role of ritual in the formation of nationalism. His work advances our understanding of contemporary India while also offering significant theoretical insights into one of the most troubling issues of this century.
