Shared Sacred Sites in South Asia: Negotiating Coexistence and Belonging

Description

South Asia is the region of the world where the largest number of people visit sacred sites of religions which are not theirs. Why do they do that? What does it say of their sense of belonging to a community? How do they interact with the Others? And is this practice under attacks because of the rise of ethno-religious nationalisms in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal?
