- Challenges normative understandings of Hindu-Muslim relations as relentlessly violent and the notion of peace as a romantic endpoint occurring only after violence and political maneuverings
- Examines the ways in which geographical concepts such as space, place, and scale can inform and problematize understandings of peace
- Redefines the politics of peace, as well as concepts of citizenship, agency, secular politics, and democracy
- Based on over 14 months of qualitative and archival research in the city of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, India
