CHAPTER VI
OVERLAPPING DISTINCTIONS
Oxford English Dictionary gives a Latin root (identitas,
from idem, 'the same') and two basic meanings of the word
identity. The first is the concept of absolute sameness in the
sense that this is identical to that. The second is a concept of
distinctiveness which presumes consistency or continuity over
time. In this sense the notion of identity establishes two
possible relations of comparison between persons and things:
similarity on one hand and difference on the other (Jenkins
1996: 3-4). This research work has also tried to analyze the
'similarities' and 'differences' between Hindus and Muslims of
rural areas of Uttar Pradesh with the aim to analyze the
identity construction. The background is that in rural settings
the life conditions for Hindus and Muslims are similar. The
pressures
of
everyday

behaviour
increase
the
possibility of interaction between them. Hence, what are the
areas of cultural overlaps and of differences? In the same
context, what are the patterns of interactions in various social
situations?
Barth's model of ethnic identity where, 'groups exist even
though the barriers separating them are osmotic rather than
watertight:
boundaries persist despite a
flow of personnel
across them' ( 1969), also holds true in the context of Hindu
and Muslim identities with slight modifications. That is, not
only have there been interactions between both communities,
but they also have adopted cultural practices of each other.
Hence, there are overlaps in their cultural practices. Though
there are disagreemertts among scholars with regard to the

there
is
unanimity about the fact that despite overlaps community

This
aspect
of
identity is apparent from the analysis of the structure of the
family, in ways rites of passage are conducted, educational,
and their occupational status, and the position of women in
both communities.
Even though Shari'at laws are supposed to be the guiding
principle in terms of ethos and norms of the Muslim family,
there are, however, striking similarities with Hindus. This not
only pertains to average number of generations living under
one roofl and the average number of family members2, but also
with regard to the preference of family type viz., joint family.
The reasons cited are also similar for both communities. The
commonality of reason is also there among those from both
communities who prefer nuclear over joint family.

With

was
argued across communities that either every item should be
divided equally among all the inheritors or a division should
take place on the basis of Maliat (market valuation). If Maliat
method is followed then each person do not get a share in
every item of ancestral property. On the issue of women's
share in ancestral property, there were divergent views within
both communities. A significant proportion of the Muslims
believed
that
daughters
along
with
sons
should
inherit
property. But Hindus did not subscribe to such opinion and
believed that daughters do not have a
share in ancestral
property apart from the expenses and gifts of marriage. In
contrast, Muslims opined that women have a share apart from
marriage expenses and gifts. One can attribute this view of
Muslims to the specific instructions of the Koran. But the fact
that a
majority of them do
not practice it indicates
the
acculturative influence of Hindus.
The core marriage rituals of both communities are very
different from each other. One possible reason is the religious
underpinning
of their
respective
marriage
rituals.
Madan
( 1989) and Mines ( 1989) assign an important role to religion
as the structural basis for identity, however, the subsidiary
customs and rituals observed at the time of marriage are
similar between the two communities. Customs such as women

Chheka
(engagement) ceremony, rituals observed in the Mandap on the
following morning of marriage and the first food a newly wed
bride takes in the groom's house. Apart from the abovementioned ones,
similarities also exist in the
perceptions
regarding the age of marriage, the importance of purity of
225
lineage (though both communities use different terms), and
marriage not being permitted among consangunial relatives
and the prevalence of dowry.
In
stereotypical

the
practice
of
polygamy
strongly associated with Muslims in India (Ahmed:
is
1979).
Muslim respondents also opined that Shari'at permits a man
seven marriages. But the fact that there are certain conditions
attached to this provision is hardly ever mentioned. It also
needs to be mentioned that there are significant instances of
polygamy among Hindus also. The difference lies in the fact
that among Muslims polygamy is practiced in the presence of
existing wife. But among Hindus polygamy is practiced only
when for some reason or other the existing wife is not there.
That is, upon death of or separation from existing wife. In
other words, in both communities men have the permission to
marry more than once. However, it is only among Muslims that
women are allowed to remarry subject to certain conditions.
Closely associated with polygamy is the issue of divorce. The
difference between both communities becomes apparent when
it comes to
accepting that divorce do
take
place.
Unlike
Muslims, Hindu upper castes did not believe that marriages
could be broken. The reason they cited was that among them
marriage was a sacrament, whereas among Muslims it is a
contract. So for Hindus, a married couple can get separated
but
their
marriage
cannot
be
annulled.
However,
the
researcher did come across the instances where divorces had
taken
place
among
the
upper
castes.
During
fieldwork,
agrarian and subaltern caste respondents narrated in detail
the process of dissolution of marriage mediated by the caste
panchayats. The dissimilarity is larger insofar as divorce is
226
concerned. The similarity between both communities is at a
more basic level i.e. in both communities women cannot ask
for divorce. This depends upon the whims and wishes of man.
As one of the respondent of village Mani Kalan pointed
out that an infant does not belong to any religion as his/her
religion
is
of their
parent's.
Hence,
the
rite
of passage
prepares the child for that religion. In birth rituals there is a
remarkable similarity between both communities. This begins
with the singing of Sawhar to the shaving of the head of the
child. But among Hindus there is no such comparable custom
as among Muslims wherein the Maulvi whispers the Azan and
Akamat in the right and left ears of the child respectively.
Furthermore, the similarity between both communities extends
even in the gender bias vis-a-vis birth rituals. That is, Sawhar
not being sung in the case of a girl child among Hindus.
Similarly, among Muslims, in Hakika (christening) ceremony,
the proportion of boy to girl child named is 1:2, upon the
ritual sacrifice of an animal.
In religious initiations in both communities there is a
degree of informality. The child is encouraged to participate in
festivals
and
religious
ceremonies.
Older
members
of the
family take upon themselves to educate the child in religious
matters. Among Muslims the child is encouraged to go to the

In rituals immediately after death and before cremation
or burial, in both communities, the dead person is put on the
ground, bathed, embalmed with perfume and dressed in new
clothes. These rituals are performed by the family members of
same gender as that of the dead person. Moreover, there is a
difference in the death rituals of adult males and females and
boys and girls in both communities. The colour of the shroud
and of the cloth for Hindus is dependent upon the marital
status of the women i.e. whether she was a widow or not at
the time of her death. Similarly, among Muslims, the length of
shroud of a dead female is 1.5 times longer than that of a
male.
Even in rituals following cremations and burial, among
Hindus and Muslims respectively, there is a great degree of
similarity. Among Hindus, these rituals are observed over a
period of 13 days and among Muslims it is observed only for
one day,
but the
underlying notion is
the
same in both
communities. That is, all rituals are aimed towards the peace
of dead person in the other life. As Hindus read Shanti Parva
of Mahabharat, a similar practice exists among Muslims who
call children from the mosques to read the Koran. However,

Analyses of gender biasness between both communities
reveal striking similarities. In the case of ancestral property,
among Muslims women do have a share, and it is not so
among Hindus. Whether this is practiced by all Muslims or not
is a matter of family norms, but women never ask for their
share. In marriages, because great importance is attached to
the purity of lineage thus most marriages are arranged ones.
Hence their opinion is never sought with regard to their
willingness
to
marry or their acceptance
of the
arranged
match. She can never divorce her husband, but can secure
divorce by persuading him to do so. Among Muslims she can

Moreover, even in areas where there are clear-cut scriptural

is rarely practiced. Again, there are differences between the

great deal of overlap between both communities, but at the
same time there are few but important distinctions also. These
differences are the boundary markers of the community, which
at times are overt and many a times are latent in nature.
As mentioned earlier, identities are not simply given, but
are constructed in interaction with 'others'. The underlying
assumption is that an individual chooses a course of action
over another when there is a
choice depending upon the
salience and commitment to an identity (Stryker:
1968 &
1980). From the analysis of interaction pattern across several
social situations, it became apparent that people from both
communities choose interactants very consciously. They are
aware of the consequences of their choice in terms of identity
projection.

highlight the fact that not only in given part of identity but
also in the process of construction of identity they share
similarities.
Apart from primordially identified interactants, there are
other categories of interactants viz., 'neighbours' and 'friends'
who hold a significant place in the respondents' scheme of
things. Physical neighbours of the same religion (better if from
the same castefbiradari) is most preferred over neighbours
from different religions or castesfbiradaris. However, it must
be pointed out that there are village specific differences in
patterns of interaction with regard to 'neighbours'. This is
more to do with the spatial distribution of Mohallas (localities)
and Tolas (Colonies) in Mani Kalan and Samdaha respectively3,
than with the choice of interactants. The same cannot be said

with certainty about 'friends'. An analysis of community and

attributes play an important role in making friends. However,

Methods of social network analysis provides tools for locating
such structural positions and the existing ties between them.
This means that all social actors possess one or more variety
of resources which is the reason for their occupation of a
structural position in social system. Thus, the possession and
exchange of resource are also reasons for interaction. With
regard to identity construction, the nature of resources and
the comparative impor:tance of resources among interactants
play a crucial role. This is in the sense that, in a social
situation, the person with less important resource (though it
is context dependent) starts the interaction and it terminates
with person possessing highly valuable resource.
Now the
person with whom interaction terminates has the power over
persons who initiated the interaction. This,
in turn,
also
influences the constructed identity of an interactant. Thus,
233
the direction of interaction viz., initiation and termination has
an important bearing on identity construction.
A class- based analysis of three types of networks of
interaction (economic, political and social) among sampled
respondents from both villages reveal that primordial ties such
as those based on caste or biradari are very important to the
people.

This means that Bade log 4 of a community interact with Oonchi
jati/ biradaris, but not with Chhote log6. Conversely Oonchi
jati/ biradari also interacts with Bade log. This means that the
possession of physical resources only acts as complementary
to non-physical resources, particularly those of an ascripitive
nature. Hence, in social situations where the exchange of

persons of the same castejbiradari are preferred over others.
An upper caste/biradari person would approach persons of his
or her own castejbiradari and also from the same class. This
is understandably so because, as has been shown in ChapterII, despite following a different method of class calculation,
there is a high correlation between castejbiradari and class.
Bade Log are those people who are from the upper castefbiradar
and own assests in the terms of four or five CCP.

CCP.
6 Chhote log are those people who are from agrarian or subaltern
castesfbiradari. For detail description see Chapter- II.

234
However,
there are exceptions to this correlation as well.
There are poor people among upper castesfbiradaris and rich
people among agrarian and subaltern castesfbiradaris. But
the interesting part of intra-class interaction is that these
aberrations of castefbiradari-class correlation never become
part of interaction network. Most of their interaction is with
those
who

class.
This
aspect
of
interaction is amply demonstrated through the social network
analysis of interaction within economic (agricultural), political
(panchayat
cases
and
elections)
and
social
(intermediate/immediate crisis situations) networks. Only in
circumstances where they do not find interactants from their

them, unlike earlier times, all the options do not end with the
upper castes. The subaltern castefbiradari have now greater
choice in choosing their interactants. Hence, all the resultant

But it can certainly be stated that they are making an attempt
to break the mould of traditional relations.
As happens with a majority of research, this research
work also carne up with some findings which do not have any
direct and specific reference to the objective of the study.
However, at the larger level it does point to the dynamics of
Hindu-Muslim identity. First, Madan (1981) in his study of
Hindus and Muslims of Kashmir has pointed out that that
'biradaris' of Muslims and castes of Hindus are not same.
However, this study contradicts this assertion. Let us begin
with characteristics of caste elucidated by Ghurye

In

still prevalent
among castes. The other three have lost ground due to certain
laws and increased interaction among various castes. This
research work has highlighted, among Muslims also there is a
hierarchy within various biradaris. Sheikhs are at the top of
hierarchy and Qureshi at the bottom. In other words, like the
Hindus, there are upper, agrarian and subaltern biradaris
among Muslims. The other major hierarchical division is that
between Ajlaf and Asraf. A majority of Muslim respondents
have pointed out that marriage is mostly solemnized within
the same biradari. Further, like Hindus, the purity of a lineage
is an important consideration in selecting a suitable match. As
far as hereditary occupation is concerned, like castes among
237
Hindus, many biradaris among Muslims have names based on
their hereditary occupation.

mausoleum of local Sufi saints. Or for that matter, the Darzi
biradari, their hereditary occupation is tailoring. Based on the
above characteristics it can be argued that biradaris are near
to castes, if not similar.
Secondly, in both communities the traditional notion of
hierarchy i.e., of upper, middle and lower castesfbiradaries do
not hold ground. That is, every castejbiradari puts itself in
the centre and based on the distance they categorise the
'other' castejbiradari as upper and lower. The position of
castejbiradari in hierarchical order is no longer determined by
the distance between that caste/biradari, and Brahmin caste
and Sheikh biradari among Hindus and Muslims, respectively.
This kind of categorization is most evident in interactional
situations. For example, if a Kewat interacts either with an
Ahir or with a Rajput, he would call both of those interactant
to be from the upper caste. The reason is that despite Ahirs
being from the so-called middle castes, they are considered
higher in hierarchy to Kewat. Similarly, if the same Kewat
interacts with a Viswakarma or with a Harijan, both of them
would be categorized as 'lower' caste.
Finally, despite the above assertion, the features of the
caste and biradaris are very similar. They are clearly different
though in at least one respect i.e.
in the distribution of
neighbours. In Chapter-11, it has been explained that spatial
distribution of Tolas in Hindu dominated Samdaha is very
238
different than that of Mohallas of Muslim dominated Mani
Kalan. The names of a
majority of Tolas of Samdaha are
castejbiradari based, but in Mani Kalan only a small minority
of Mohallas have castejbiradari based names. This means that
a majority of inhabitants of Tolas of Samdaha are from the
castejbiradari after which the area is named, but this is not
so
for
Mohallas
of Mani
Kalan.
Moreover,
there
is
some
amount of spatial distance between any two Tolas. But the
Mohallas of Mani Kalan are in a continuous whole. In such
kind
of spatial
distribution,
the
neighbourhoods
in
both
villages are very different. This is in the sense that, generally
neighbours of Samdaha belong to the same castejbiradari. In
Mani Kalan, however, the chances of neighbours being from
same castejbiradari were very low except for the Harijan caste
who were not part of mixed neighbourhoods. This means that
unlike castes of Hindus, among the biradaris of Muslims there
is less restriction on social interactions. In this regard, one
can point out that both these villages have some members of
'other' communities i.e., Hindus in Mani Kalan and Muslims in
Samdaha as well.
Hence,
neighbourhoods
of both villages
should have characteristics of both communities. However, it
must be mentioned that the minority community in both
villages make a conscious attempt to fit into the social system
of the village which, to a large extent is determined by the
predominant community.
Limitations and Future Directions
This research is based on the data collected from the two
villages (Samdaha and Mani Kalan) of Jaunpur district of
239
eastern Uttar Pradesh. This is a micro study of Hindu-Muslim
identity and it is difficult to generalize the findings at a larger
(macro) level. Hence, future study in this area could examine
Hindu-Muslims identity in urban contexts. The reason is in
urban locations the immediate reality of the people are very
different from that of rural areas. One example of this could
be that in this study under category 'occupation' the primary
focus is on agriculture and the interactions within agriculture.
However, in urban areas given the varieties of occupations, an
analysis of interaction for occupation would reveal a much
complex
process
of
identity
construction
and
interaction
among Hindus and Muslims.
To generalize the findings of this study, it is imperative
that in future such studies are carried out across the various
regions of not only Uttar Pradesh, but across the country. This
would not only provide a larger picture but also give us an
estimate of the comparative dynamics of identity construction
in different regions. This becomes particularly important in
the light of the fact that each region has different cultural
practices.
As has been mentioned earlier also that lower class and
subaltern castefbiradari from both villages migrate to cities in
search
of jobs.
Many a
times,
such
migrants
from
both
communities stay at one location in the new place. It would be
worth
enquiring
how
migrants
from
both
communities
construct their identity in an urban setting. What kind of
network they are able to activate and sustain. Further, in
situations where upper castefbiradari are late migrants, how
do they negotiate their identity in non-rural surroundings?
