As Islam presented itself through new adaptations to modern life, the polarization between the two camps widened as citizens who desired Islam as one of the key anchors of their identity were left devoid of possibilities, often turning to the Islamist or versions of the Islamist rhetoric. With a particular kind of textual Islam increasingly claiming the grounds, one often bemoaned the absence of an in-between space from where Bangladeshis could claim tolerance, pluralism and spirituality in the creation of a democratic society. This was also reflected in the aspirations of men and women who found themselves, often by default, engaging with a religious rhetoric that premised itself in an opposition to secularism. This article points to some articulations and debates of such aspirations by women who congregate to read and discuss the Koran in Dhaka.
