Ali Asani, professor of Harvard University (US), who specialises in Indo-Muslim and Islamic Religion and Cultures was in Mumbai last week. Excerpts from an exclusive interview with Kanchan Srivastava
If the world is increasingly globalised, why do we see too many polarisations in the name of different identities?
It’s a paradoxical situation. The differences over religion, race, ethnicity, gender, language and even opinions are increasing as we don’t teach people to understand these differences. Our education system has failed to provide religious literacy to people. It fuels identity politics across the globe.
