The book straddles the fields of the sociology of movements and religious studies. Using a comparative lens, two different movements - a Hindu and an Islamic reform - have been studied in ethnographic detail. It contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the concepts of secularity and civil society in a 'post-secular' world.
