Gitanjali Sri’s Hindi novel Hamara sahar us baras Our Town That Year, published in 1998) presents a story placed in a town that could be anywhere and everywhere in north India, and in a time that could be any time since the 1980s, up to the demolition of the BabrI masjid1 in Ayodhya in 1992 and its bloody aftermath. Characters in the novel voice doubts and questions that worry the intelligentsia. The novel can be described as a literary portrayal of the point of view of the academic about the nation and the construction of identity in contemporary India, because all the issues raised in it are connected to the problem of defining one’s own identity in relation to the collective identity of the nation, with special reference to religious communities. In fact, whether one likes it or not, in India one is born into a religion. Even for people who are atheist, or agnostic, it is very difficult to be simply a citizen of India. Notwithstanding the secular definition of the Indian State, one has to be defined as Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Parsi, Buddhist, Jain, or tribal, et cetera; if one is none of the above, then s/he is labeled as Hindu. Hindu is a wide label covering many different communities: not only Vaisnavas and Saivas, who are indeed Hindus, but also dalits, and even Buddhists and Jains are sometimes included in this definition, particularly for political aims
