Abstract
Whether spurred by religious images or academic history books, hardly a day goes by in South Asia without an incident or court case occurring as a result of hurt religious feelings. The sharp rise in accusations of sacrilege over the past few decades calls for an investigation into why offence politics has become so pronounced, and why it is observable across religious and political differences.
