Though ethnic conflict grabs the headlines, the good news is that in some areas of the world inter-faith relationships actually work. The region of Malerkotla in India's Punjab state is one remarkable example, a place in the middle of ethnic conflict where Muslim, Christian, Hindu, and Sikh harmony is a way of life. This insightful study shows why. Through case studies, survey research, and theoretical analysis, it explores the various facets of intercultural toleration and demonstrates that if multicultural harmony can work in Malerkotla it can be a model for our complex and divisive world. -- Mark Juergensmeyer, professor of global studies, University of California, Santa Barbara, and author of Gandhi's Way; A Handbook of Conflict Resolution
