Know about the book -

Beyond Hindu and Muslim is written by Peter Gottschalk and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0199760527 (ISBN 10) and 9780199760527 (ISBN 13).

Questioning the conventional depiction of India as a nation divided between religious communities, Gottschalk shows that individuals living in India have multiple identities, some of which cut across religious boundaries. The stories narrated by villagers living in the northern state of Bihar depict everyday social interactions that transcend the simple divide of Hindu and Muslim.
