| Résumé: | Islam came to India with a handful of its followers and hasstayed here as a very powerful religion of the country. In a multistructured. Indian Society where religious pluralism and cultural dualism, no religious group can retain its original identity in tact. Changes in its style of operation, pressure to adjust and readjust to local environment become inevitable. What is ultimately required is peaceful co-existence without diluting its basic structure. Christianity which is also an alien religion has adopted an all together different approach and faces less problems today. Islam is not opposed to any other religion. On the other hand, it permits its followers to adjust to local situations wherever possible. Its encounter with Hinduism ultimately does bear a greater degree of impact on both Muslims and Hindus. Today, neither Muslims nor Hindus can boast of retaining the original cultural behaviour expected within the parameters of the concerned religion. |
