Book Summary
About the Book: Islam in Performance: Contemporary Plays from South Asia
Islam in Performance brings together six contemporary plays from Bangladesh,
India, and Pakistan that highlight the political performance of Islam in South
Asia, especially since the 1947 partition of the subcontinent.
The plays invite comparison with one another, engaging with the issue from
perspectives of the three countries concerned: Hindutva politics in India
othering the Muslim population for electoral gains, radical Islamization of
Pakistan paralyzing political governance and encouraging jihadi violence, and
the ever-increasing Islamist threat to Bangladeshs founding secular ethos.
Finally, this anthology focuses on the suffering such exclusionary politics of
religious nationalism has piled upon minorities
