Know about the book -

The Construction of Religious Boundaries is written by Harjot Oberoi and published by Oxford University Press, USA. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0195637801 (ISBN 10) and 9780195637809 (ISBN 13).

This study lays the foundation for a major reinterpretation of religion and society in India. By extensively using post-structuralist theory, Oberoi suggests an alternative to earlier scholarly narratives that saw Sikhism, Hindism, and Islam as historically given categories encompassing well-demarcated and self-conscious units of religious identity. The theoretical advances are made through a searching examination of Sikh historical materials.
