UNMASKING INDIAN SECULARISM

Om UNMASKING INDIAN SECULARISM

In a bold attempt to help break the impasse in Hindu-Muslim relation, this book brings a much-needed perspective to a polarized debate on conflicting notions of secularism. It calls for de-hyphenating the so-called 'Muslim Question' (place of Muslims in a Hindu-majority India) from the wider debate on secularism and advocates a new Hindu-Muslim deal based around the centuries-old common cultural heritage skirting religious differences. In a refreshing break from liberal orthodoxy, the book explores the idea of a secular Hindu state which will recognize Hinduism as the official religion but guarantee equal rights to all its citizens, irrespective of their faith: a version of Britain's secular Christian state. An incisive analysis of why secularism failed and the rise of majoritarian Hindu nationalism, it underlines the urgent need for a new road map to restore communal harmony before it's too late for course correction.

Beskrivelse av UNMASKING INDIAN SECULARISM

In a bold attempt to help break the impasse in Hindu-Muslim relation, this book brings a much-needed
perspective to a polarized debate on conflicting notions of secularism. It calls for de-hyphenating
the so-called 'Muslim Question' (place of Muslims in a Hindu-majority India) from the wider debate
on secularism and advocates a new Hindu-Muslim deal based around the centuries-old common
cultural heritage skirting religious differences.
In a refreshing break from liberal orthodoxy, the book explores the idea of a secular Hindu state
which will recognize Hinduism as the official religion but guarantee equal rights to all its citizens,
irrespective of their faith: a version of Britain's secular Christian state. An incisive analysis of why secularism failed and the rise of majoritarian Hindu nationalism, it
underlines the urgent need for a new road map to restore communal harmony before it's too late
for course correction.
