Opis

Religious expression influences conflict between religious groups. Polite and humanistic expression builds harmony between religious groups, but hatred and emotional expression induces conflict between religious groups in particular geographic context. This book mainly focuses on how religious expression-polite or hatred- induces conflict between majority (e.g., Muslim) and minority (e.g., Hindu, Santal and Oraon) groups in Bangladesh. Based on empirical data this book analyzes how tolerant or intolerant behavior in social gathering mediates the association between religious expression and conflict between the two groups in Bangladesh. The findings may have legal or social policy implication to improve inter-religious relations between majority and minority groups in Bangladesh.
