1 Religious Practice and Democracy in India This book demonstrates the close relationship between religion and democracy in India. Religious practice creates ties among citizens that can generate positive and democratic political outcomes. In pursuing this line of inquiry the book questions a dominant strand in some contemporary social sciences that a religious denomination (Catholic, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, etc.) is sufficient to explain the relationship between religion and politics, or that religion and democracy are antithetical to each other. The book makes a strong case for studying religious practice and placing that practice in the panoply of other social practices. Pradeep K. Chhibber is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Institute of International Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, where he also serves as the Indo- American Community Chair of India Studies. His two previous books have won awards from the American Political Science Association. His articles have been published in such journals as the American Political Science Review, British Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, Journal of Politics, and Party Politics. He is an active contributor to the op-ed pages of the Indian Express.

9 Acknowledgments This book demonstrates the close relationship between religion and democracy in India. Religious practice is associated with political representation because the sites and occasions of religious practice constitute one of few public spheres in which the hierarchies that normally characterize Indian society are temporarily suspended. The research reported in this book shows that religious practice in India does more than privilege the few over the many, and more than provide an avenue for political mobilization against other religions. Religious practice creates identic ties among people of strikingly different social class and status. These identic ties created through religious practice are associated with participants viewing political parties and politicians as representative. There are various debts owed in the writing of this book. The first is to Lokniti the finest collection of dedicated social scientists working in India and elsewhere. Their intellectual contribution and camaraderie are what made this project possible. Neither the data nor the ideas embedded here would have emerged were it not for their tireless devotion to the research enterprise. The colleagues in Lokniti were not part of this data analysis. The second is to Mr. O. N. Chhibber who read far too many drafts and offered comments with a perspicacity that ix
10 x Acknowledgments was amazing. His encouragement throughout the process transformed the half-baked manuscript into a book. The third debt is to my colleagues at Berkeley and elsewhere, many of whom had to suffer through the various rants and chants as this manuscript was taking shape. Matthew Baxter, with good cheer and humor, read and edited early versions of this book some of which were, in retrospect, quite unreadable. He also provided valuable research assistance, especially on the role of religious leaders at the local level, and allowed the use of materials from his dissertation. Nafisa Akbar, Tanu Kumar, Francesca Jensenius, Adnan Naseemullah, Susan Ostermann, Vasundhara Sirnate, and Rahul Verma all read various versions and pieces of this book. Their help with ideas and data was invaluable and their critical feedback helped save this book. More important, in the years it took to write this book, they suffered, somewhat silently, through the various incarnations of the arguments as did Tarun Kumar who gave valuable suggestions on many occasions. Over the course of two years various other individuals have commented and helped in the writing of this book. Berkeley Professor Jasjeet Sekhon made this work more intellectually rigorous, and keeping up with his criticisms was challenging yet rewarding. Amit Ahuja and Irfan Nooruddin offered invaluable advice at a critical moment, and the argument is cleaner because of their intervention. This work has been presented at various venues the Center for the Study of Developing Societies, Delhi; University of Pennsylvania; University of California, Los Angeles; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; University of California, Santa Barbara; and Harvard University where helpful comments were received from Rajeev Bhargava, Neil Malhotra, Alistair McMillan, Vipin Narang, Bhrigupati Singh, Prerna Singh, Alfred Stepan, Ashutosh Varshney, and Adam Ziegfeld. A special acknowledgment is due to the individuals who helped collect some of the data at the heart of the analysis, especially Dr. A. K. Verma of Christ Church College whose help and intellectual rigor made some of this work possible. Francesca Jensenius is owed a special thanks for all her help with sampling as is Rahul Verma for helping clarify the data presentation.
11 Acknowledgments xi Professor G. K. Prasad of Madras University deserves special acknowledgment for taking time out of his busy schedule to help with research in Tamil Nadu. The work has benefited enormously from the editorial work of Xavier Callahan who helped craft the opening chapters in an imaginative way. She converted a draft into a book. The comments of reviewers for Cambridge University Press have definitely made this book better. Encouragement and stewardship of my editor, Lew Bateman, were most helpful. The diligence and responsiveness of Shashank Shankar, who was overseeing the production, helped avert errors and convert the manuscript to a published book. Kaja, Anuka, and Neela provided the time, space, and emotional support to carry this project through. This is for them with love.
