This chapter’s focus is on an equally important and perhaps surprising aspect of the historically layered and cultural complex composition of trading networks– their religious diversity. Long-term conflict and displacement in Afghanistan has resulted in the bleaching of ‘ethno-religious minorities’ from the country’s social fabric, what is sometimes referred to as the process of ‘decosmopolitanisation’. This chapter argues that processes of ‘de-cosmopolitinisation’ are best understood alongside recognition of the persistence in new settings of the legacy of past modes of doing commerce widely documented in multi-religious Muslim-majority societies. It explore the role traders play in cultivating and maintaining nuanced modes of engaging with religious diversity in the various settings in which they work, exploring the afterlife of Afghanistan’s legacy of cosmopolitan modes of urban living in the geographies and sociality of contemporary forms of trade. In order to do so, the ethnographic focus of the chapter is on relationships between Muslim traders from Afghanistan and those who identify with the country’s historic and substantial– but today geographically dispersed– Hindu and Sikh communities.
