Book Synopsis India as a Secular State by : Donald Eugene Smith
Download or read book India as a Secular State written by Donald Eugene Smith and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout India's history, religion has been the most powerful single factor in the development of her civilization. Today, despite her religious tradition, India is emerging as a secular state. In this book, Donald E. Smith explores the origin of the concept of secularization as it is found both in Indian culture and in the example of the western nations. He emphasizes the important role of secularization in India’s total democratic experiment and points out that the degree of its realization will undoubtedly affect the eventual character of democracy in India. In addition, the success or failure of the secular state in India cannot fail to influence the attitudes of her neighbors. Professor Smith considers the many aspects and implications of India’s attempt to secularize her government. Originally published in 1963.

Book excerpt: Curriculum is the most explicit path through which the ideals of education can be achieved. How far is the national goal of inculating secular values, which has been the common concern of all national policies on education and of different commissions and committees set up by the government of India, among all the students belonging to different religion and cultural? This is very crucial question because the answer to this question will decide whether the curriculum is effective or ineffective to achieve this national ideal. In the present book the answer to this crucial question is being traced. Besides, the empirical findings the book provides a sound conceptual background of secularism and secular values and has operationalized them in Indian context. It has also tried to present the relevance of secular values for a religions pluralist society like ours in an objective way. In the last chapter of the book a conceptual model for imparting secular values through curriculum is also suggested. Students during the pre-service teachers training may be exposed to such models so that they can act as inculcate of secular values in actual classroom.

Book Synopsis The Crisis of Secularism in India by : Anuradha Dingwaney Needham
Download or read book The Crisis of Secularism in India written by Anuradha Dingwaney Needham and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-18 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While secularism has been integral to India’s democracy for more than fifty years, its uses and limits are now being debated anew. Signs of a crisis in the relations between state, society, and religion include the violence directed against Muslims in Gujarat in 2002 and the precarious situation of India’s minority religious groups more generally; the existence of personal laws that vary by religious community; the affiliation of political parties with fundamentalist religious organizations; and the rallying of a significant proportion of the diasporic Hindu community behind a resurgent nationalist Hinduism. There is a broad consensus that a crisis of secularism exists, but whether the state can resolve conflicts and ease tensions or is itself part of the problem is a matter of vigorous political and intellectual debate. In this timely, nuanced collection, twenty leading Indian cultural theorists assess the contradictory ideals, policies, and practices of secularism in India. Scholars of history, anthropology, religion, politics, law, philosophy, and media studies take on a broad range of concerns. Some consider the history of secularism in India; others explore theoretical issues such as the relationship between secularism and democracy or the shortcomings of the categories “majority” and “minority.” Contributors examine how the debates about secularism play out in schools, the media, and the popular cinema. And they address two of the most politically charged sites of crisis: personal law and the right to practice and encourage religious conversion. Together the essays inject insightful analysis into the fraught controversy about the shortcomings and uncertain future of secularism in the world today. Contributors.

Book Synopsis SECULAR, SOCIALIST & RELIGION IN INDIA - THE MISCONCEPTIONS by : PRAHALAD RAO
Download or read book SECULAR, SOCIALIST & RELIGION IN INDIA - THE MISCONCEPTIONS written by PRAHALAD RAO and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constituent Assembly Debates, which made the Constitution of India, are the original source to understanding how the Constitution was made. The debates are bold and blunt, conducted using soft expressions and language. Rather than reading the Constitution as it is, what we discovered over the last fifty years of its adoption is that it is read differently, suiting the persons of the political parties speaking as they selectively suppress the spirit of the Letters. Terms such as socialist" and "secular were later inserted in the Preamble through the 42nd Amendment in 1976 and that opened up Pandora's box. Unfortunate derivation continued to progress, opening up opportunities to influence the meaning of socialism, secularism, and religion. Politicians didn't even glance at the spirited debates, on how those very words were used to rench the consensus collectively among them. Inequality continued to increase year after year, which should not have been there after the insertion of those words. Politicians and religious leaders at that time considered it more appropriate to convert those words as more relevant terms like religion, caste and creed. There onwards, the country started experiencing a different taste of socialism, secularism, and religion. In the author's view, all such conceptions were solely serving self-interests. This is where we stand today. The author has made a humble effort in this book to highlight the misconceptions of these terms as envisioned in the Constitution. People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one. Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive metion." - Dr. Steve Maraboli.

Book Synopsis Indian Secularism by : Shabnum Tejani
Download or read book Indian Secularism written by Shabnum Tejani and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the central issues in modern Indian politics have long been understood in terms of an opposition between ideologies of secularism and communalism. Observers have argued that recent Hindu nationalism is the symptom of a crisis of Indian secularism and have blamed this on a resurgence of religion or communalism. Shabnum Tejani unpacks prevailing assumptions about the meaning of secularism in contemporary politics, focusing on India but with many points of comparison elsewhere in the world. She questions the simple dichotomy between secularism and communalism that has been used in scholarly study and political discourse. Tracing the social, political, and intellectual genealogies of the concepts of secularism and communalism from the late nineteenth century until the ratification of the Indian constitution in 1950, she shows how secularism came to be bound up with ideas about nationalism and national identity.

Download or read book Secularism written by Madhav Godbole and published by Rupa Publications. This book was released on 2016 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first time since Independence, India is at a crossroads of secular and Hindu Rashtra (nation) ideologies. The Constitution of India is ambivalent about secularism, pandering to the demands of both the majority and minority communities. The founding fathers could not even agree on calling the Constitution 'secular'. The word 'secular' became a part of the Preamble only during the 'Emergency'. There is no consensus yet on its definition. In the process, secularism, though declared by the Supreme Court as a part of the 'basic structure' of the Constitution, has lost all credibility. Godbole's thoughtful and comprehensive agenda for strengthening secularism includes setting up a constitutional commission on secularism, the separation of religion from politics, defining the words 'secular' and 'minorities', doing away with the freedom to propagate religion, an amendment of Article 48 by deleting the provision prohibiting cow slaughter and increasing the role and responsibilities of the central government. The implementation of this will require national consensus, statesmanship, maturity and far-sightedness. Secularism should be a must-read for the youth of this country, political parties, legislators, professionals, academia, media, social thinkers and opinion-makers. For, no other issue will decide the future of India as decisively.

Book Synopsis The Language of Secular Islam by : Kavita Datla
Download or read book The Language of Secular Islam written by Kavita Datla and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the turbulent period prior to colonial India’s partition and independence, Muslim intellectuals in Hyderabad sought to secularize and reformulate their linguistic, historical, religious, and literary traditions for the sake of a newly conceived national public. Responding to the model of secular education introduced to South Asia by the British, Indian academics launched a spirited debate about the reform of Islamic education, the importance of education in the spoken languages of the country, the shape of Urdu and its past, and the significance of the histories of Islam and India for their present. The Language of Secular Islam pursues an alternative account of the political disagreements between Hindus and Muslims in South Asia, conflicts too often described as the product of primordial and unchanging attachments to religion. The author suggests that the political struggles of India in the 1930s, the very decade in which the demand for Pakistan began to be articulated, should not be understood as the product of an inadequate or incomplete secularism, but as the clashing of competing secular agendas. Her work explores negotiations over language, education, and religion at Osmania University, the first university in India to use a modern Indian language (Urdu) as its medium of instruction, and sheds light on questions of colonial displacement and national belonging. Grounded in close attention to historical evidence, The Language of Secular Islam has broad ramifications for some of the most difficult issues currently debated in the humanities and social sciences: the significance and legacies of European colonialism, the inclusions and exclusions enacted by nationalist projects, the place of minorities in the forging of nationalism, and the relationship between religion and modern politics. It will be of interest to historians of colonial India, scholars of Islam, and anyone who follows the politics of Urdu.
