ABOUT THE BOOK: Present volume is the outcome of two days national seminar on SYNCRETISM IN INDIA: CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS DIMENSIONS held at Guwahati in 2015 in which large number of social scientists across the disciplinary frames presented their papers linking with the issues and ideas concerning 'syncretism', a concept which has often been perceived in variegated ways by scholars of different disciplines. A number of articles could be found in this volume by anthropologists relating to syncretism that interprets the term as borrowing of cultural traits among two or more groups; more specifically, between Hindus and Muslims, or Hindus and Christian, or even between tribals and nontribals, etc., based on empirical standpoints. However, one may like to ask, why this so happened in spite of the ever expanding knowledge base of the academic fraternity regarding this cultural phenomena. We can envisage that this volume brings in to focus multiple and contested realities of our time and also opens up space for further critical discourse revolved around the notion of 'syncretism' in a multicultural state like India.
