Whether spurred by religious images or history books, hardly a day goes by in South Asia without an accusation of blasphemy. What accounts for the sharp rise in religious offense, and why it is observable across religious and political differences? An interdisciplinary study of this trend, Outrage brings together researchers in anthropology, religious studies, and South Asian studies with rich experience in the varied ways religion and politics intersect in this region. Each chapter focuses on a recent case of alleged blasphemy or desecration in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar, unpacking the religious sensitivities and political concerns. Collectively, the chapters explore common denominators across national and religious differences, such as the introduction of social media and smartphones, the possible political gains of initiating blasphemy accusations, and the growing self-assertion of marginal communities.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Mafia has become an indigenous term in the Indian subcontinent. Like Italian mobsters, the South Asian gangster politicians and violent entrepreneurs are known for inflicting brutal violence while simultaneously upholding vigilante justice inspiring fear and fantasy. But the term also refers to the diffuse spheres of crime, business and politics operating within a shadow world that is popularly referred to as the rule of the mafia, or Mafia Raj . Through intimate stories of the lives of powerful and aspiring bosses in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh a rookie neta from Dhaka, a selfstyled leader of the poor in Punjab, a henchman from Chittoor, smalltime brokers in Lahore, a female don in western UP, a political bigshot in Nawabganj, and a legendary figure in the bloodridden politics of South India this book illustrates their personal struggles for sovereignty on their move up the ladder of success. Ethnographically tracing the distinctive cultural milieu that such stories emerge from, the authors theorize what they call the art of bossing , providing nuanced ideas about crime, corruption and the lure of the strongman across the world.
