 sents Kalyani Menon. In today’s India where we see the ascendancy of Hindu
  supremacy\, the place for Muslims is shrinking.&nbsp\; Drawing on ethnogr
 aphic fieldwork with diverse Muslim groups in Old Delhi\, this talk examin
 es how religion provides an arena for Muslims to intervene in the politica
 l.&nbsp\; The religious practices of Old Delhi’s Muslims imbue localities 
 with particular cultural inflections and can be seen as modes of making pl
 ace.&nbsp\; Focusing on tensions that have emerged among different groups 
 of Muslim women over mourning rituals in Old Delhi\, the talk explores how
  they not only index diverse constructions of ideal religious subjectivity
  but also illustrate how Old Delhi’s diverse Muslim communities organize d
 ifference and construct belonging in contemporary India. In so doing\, the
  talk explores how rituals about death are also very much about life\, pro
 viding an arena for Old Delhi’s Muslims to variously make place for themse
 lves in India today.Kalyani Menon is a Professor in the Department of Reli
