Compatibility of Secularism in India: A Contested Discourse
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
The idea of Indian secularism is deeply rooted in its own socio-cultural and historical traditions. It has its own concept of secularism which is different from the Western concept. The uniqueness of the Indian conception of secularism has been discussed extensively and has been one of the most debated and contested issues in recent times. There are apprehensions about whether the concept would find a suited field of application in the Indian social and political context. . Conceptually Indian secularism dwells in an entirely unique discursive domain. This paper particularly tries to analyse the compatibility of secular idea in India and questions some of its fundamental foundations. The research delineates the secular distinctiveness of the Indian nation-state and various contestations and debates among scholars for its effectiveness in the Indian society.
