Crossing the Threshold: Understanding Religious Identities in South Asia by Dr. Dominique-Sila KhanA wonderful book challenges all the contemporary notions of intolerance between faiths, as a forced post-colonialism consequence of religious categorization by colonial masters. In a sub-continental Indian settings, author argues that although contemporary Hindus and Muslims consider themselves distinctly separate and at times antagonistic toward each other, however, historically they coexisted harmoniously, were more liminal and, seem to possess remarkably fluid religious identities, as either of these faiths would want to admit in recent times. Author proposes that the distinctly crystallized religious identities between Hindus and Muslims, as witnessed in the modern day India are historical by-products of forced religious categorization on census of unwilling laity by the colonial British Raj.
