The introduction gives an overview of the field of Pakistani Hinduism. Bringing together historical research with an analysis of the current situation in Pakistan will show how a Pakistani-Hindu identity exists in a kind of purgatory, caught betwixt and between nation-state and religious loyalty. The author argues that this predicament is one reason for the rapid rise to fame of the Hinglaj shrine in Balochistan. Being sufficiently distant from urban settlements in Pakistan makes a free and unfettered Hindu religious practice possible. Recent changes in infrastructure have made this trip affordable, thus resulting in a steep increase in the number of visitors. The latter part of the introduction gives a description of the book’s chapters.
