About this ebook

Om and Crescent: The Battle for Peaceful Coexistence explains Islam from a Hindu perspective. This book sheds light on the similarities and differences between these two faiths in a way Hindus can understand. Read this book if you want to:

• Understand Islam from the standpoint of Advaita Vedanta.

• Compare and contrast religious concepts, such as Ishvara-Allah, Dharma Yuddha-Jihad, Avatar-Masiha, and many more.

• Intellectually empower yourself on interfaith dialogue based on Dharma.

The book is divided into five parts. The first part talks about dharma and monotheism. The second part provides an overview of key Islamic ideas. The third part delves into specialized concepts like jihad and kufr. Part four is a survey of Islamic societies, and part five presents Pakistan and Bangladesh as case studies. The book concludes by providing practical solutions for how Hindus and Muslims should engage with each other. This book is an essential read for social scientists, policymakers, and scholars interested in the past, present, and future of Hindu-Muslim relations.
