Description

Explore a profound historical account of religious struggle and social identity in South Asia. This book by Routledge examines the lives of Christians in Pakistan, centering on the life and tragic death of Bishop John Joseph. In May 1998, as the first native Pakistani Catholic bishop, Joseph took a desperate stand by shooting himself in front of a courthouse following a death sentence for blasphemy. This narrative follows the history of a community that sought hope through Christianity. Most Pakistani Christians are descendants of the untouchable caste who converted in the late 19th century. The text examines how this minority group now finds itself caught in the middle of a struggle to define Islam within the nation. It provides a deep look at how religious affiliation is linked to social status and the challenges faced by those living on the margins of society.
