Knots in the weave
This article explores the possibility of inter‐religious friendship in a context where the norms of secular citizenship are not necessarily available to form the grounds of community. Hindu and Muslim girls met every day to learn to sew together in a sewing class located inside a Hindu temple compound in a small town in Pakistan. Ritual tensions arose in this space from the shared effort to maintain conviviality across social and theological diff…
Corruption, Friendship, and Women’s Bodies
Thanawi published an influential treatise called "The Consummate Stratagem for the Powerless Wife" (Al-Hila al-najiza li 'l-halilat al-'ajiza).It was a response to what many ulama of that time perceived as a serious ongoing crisis, whereby Muslim women were deliberately apostatizing in order to escape undesirable marriages ( Lemons 2019; De 2010).This phenomenon was seen to pose an existential threat to Indian Muslims at a time of growing religio…

The imperatives of Dalit emancipation interacted with concerns about the position of minorities, thereby revealing the conditions by which difference became legible in the new state. In the creation of Pakistan, Mandal had seen a promise of furthering Dalit e…
