Religion in
Arampur is practiced within an incredible diversity of
settings, activities, and beliefs. It cannot be neatly
divided into categories of religious tradition (I.e.,
"Hindu," "Muslim," "Sikh," "Christian") because members of
these communities intermingle freely. Yet, these traditions
have long heritages with which most Arampur families
identify themselves.
As with other
elements of their lives, the religious dimension allows
Arampur residents to identify themselves uniquely with local
family and caste as well as more broadly with national and
international groups.
