The Colors of Violence : Cultural Identities, Religion, and Conflict

Rating:
Summary: A Quick Read on Indian Violence
Review: This is the best book on religious violence in India that I have ever read. The author is a psychoanalyst who really gets into the reasons why Hindus and Muslims have these stereotypes of each other. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in Indian history.

Rating:
Summary: Thick lens but thin facts
Review: Too much lofty theorizing - only for readers with little real exposure to India's complexities.
