Hyderabad of yore cradle of ganga-jamni tehzeeb

- Karen Leonard, anthropology professor and department chair, is quoted in The Hindu January 6, 2012
UCI mentioned:
People now may be sharply divided on religious lines but the Hyderabad of yesteryears
presented a successful example of a pluralistic society. Regardless of their religious
affiliations everyone participated in the dominant public culture, especially those
living in the neighborhoods of the walled City. "The Indo-Muslim practices are not
evidence of a cultural synthesis, syncretism or hybridity. Rather they are evidence
of a successful plural society," remarked Karen Leonard, professor of anthropology,
University of California, Irvine.
