Abstract

ABSTRACT Despite common use of the term ‘sibling-rivalry’ for Hindu-Muslim conflict in British India, there are few or no attempts to explain this phenomenon from a proper theoretical foci. By employing an indigenous interpersonal conflict model, this article seeks to examine Hindu-Muslim conflict in the pre-partition period. This draws on the dynamics of intimate rivalry among family members to explain Hindu-Muslim conflict dynamics from a fresh psycho-cultural perspective. The institution of joint-family is the most pervasive and the most influential institution in the subcontinent shaping certain views regarding the functioning of other institutions in society; including in the political sphere. People use the concrete knowledge learned inside their families to reason about more abstract phenomena such as group conflict. Therefore, the conflict dynamics associated with the family institution are extrapolated onto intergroup conflicts.

冲突是从家里开始的吗--利用家庭动态来理解英属印度的印度教-穆斯林冲突；1907–1947

摘要尽管在英属印度，“兄弟姐妹竞争”一词在印度教和穆斯林冲突中被普遍使用，但很少或根本没有试图从适当的理论焦点来解释这一现象。本文采用土著人的人际冲突模型，试图考察印度-穆斯林在分治前时期的冲突。这借鉴了家庭成员之间亲密竞争的动态，从新的心理文化角度解释了印度教-穆斯林冲突的动态。联合家庭制度是次大陆最普遍、最具影响力的制度，形成了关于社会其他制度运作的某些观点；包括在政治领域。人们利用在家庭内部学到的具体知识来推理更抽象的现象，如群体冲突。因此，与家庭制度相关的冲突动态被推断为群体间冲突。
