Signs of a crisis in the relations between state, society, and religion include the violence against Muslims in Gujarat and the precarious situation of India's minorities more generally; personal laws that vary by religious community the affiliation of political parties with fundamentalist religious organizations; and the rallying of sections of the diasporic Hindu community behind nationalist Hinduism.
