Description
Summary:This paper explores how followers of Islamic traditions in the Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir, India, articulate their religious experiences within the context of various communication mediums. The primary aim is to examine how Islamic traditions in Anantnag uphold their relationship with diverse media symbols and formats, while exploring how individuals in this Muslim-majority region derive religious significance from their engagement with various media platforms. The paper aims to illuminate the processes associated with communicating Islamic traditions within the evolving context of media history in Anantnag. By employing in-depth interviews and a thorough review of existing literature, this paper argues that each media form holds a distinctive influence in shaping religious practices and discourses within the context of Anantnag. To understand how Muslims construct meaning through engagement with media of religious significance, this paper delves into narratives of self-identity, considering them as essential resources for illustrating the intersection of religious patterns and media landscapes in Anantnag.
