Episode 5- Faith and Frontiers: Religion as the Engine of Nationalism in Colonial India

In this episode, we delve into the complex relationship between religion and nationalism as presented in Chapter 4 of K.K. Aziz’s The Making of Pakistan. Focusing on the roles of Hinduism and Islam, we unpack how religion served both as a unifying force among Indian Muslims and a divisive factor in Hindu-Muslim relations. We discuss the political impact of the Khilafat Movement, the rise of Pan-Islamism, and how Christian views on Muslim nationalism added further layers to the national discourse. Join us as we uncover how religious sentiment influenced the trajectory of India’s partition and the creation of Pakistan.
