Description

Explore the social and economic landscape of Banaras through this ethnographic study by Routledge. Using the metaphor of tana-bana, the warp and the weft of the Banarasi sari, the author examines the interwoven lives of Hindu-Muslim relations within the local sari industry. This book investigates how communalism manifests in everyday life in Uttar Pradesh. It documents the tension between representations of Banaras as a sacred Hindu city and its actual plural character. By focusing on the social and economic matrix of the sari industry, the volume provides an in-depth look at the lives of Banaras Muslims and the complex cultural dynamics of the region.
