Nurcholish Madjid: Indonesian Muslim intellectual

Abstract

Nurcholish Madjid died in August last year. At the time of his death, the country was drifting away into increasing religious intolerance. The days in which his voice of moderation and inter-religious understanding was almost hegemonic in the media are fading away, and memories of Nurcholish resonate with nostalgia for times of greater harmony.
