India’s long and rich history of religious diversity is both well-known and highly complex. We focus our study on a number of religious traditions (Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism, and/or Parsi) within a wide variety of their historical and cultural settings. Our study will examine both individual traditions and the complex history of their interaction. We’ll also examine how religions interact with political, social, and economic systems as well as look at examples of religious pluralism together with its promises and problems in historic and contemporary settings within India and beyond.
