This book examines secularity in India, portraying it as a complex tapestry of social struggles stemming from secularism, which introduces cultural assumptions often at odds with traditional Hindu values. These cross-pressures impact both societal and legal realms, influencing how secularism is practiced. The author explores whether secularism inherently carries theological or cultural biases that shape its distinctive expression in India. Delving into the intersection of religious freedom, human rights, and legislation, particularly around the contentious issue of religious conversion, the book analyzes how Christian converts integrate their faith with Hindu practices. These adaptive, hybrid lifestyles, the author suggests, may provide a unique response to the tensions and challenges posed by secularism.
