How does the world largest democracy manage the complex convergence of deep religious consciousness and constitutional secularism? Sacred and Secular: India's Religious Dynamics tackles one of contemporary India's most pressing challenges the evolving relationship between religious identity and democratic governance. At a critical juncture where traditional understandings of religion and politics are being redefined, this groundbreaking volume brings together twenty distinguished scholars to examine India's unique experiment with secular democracy. From constitutional foundations of principled equidistance to rising religious nationalism, from regional variations to tribal traditions, these contributions reveal how millions negotiate the lived reality between sacred and secular. With India rsquo;s religious diversity encompassing Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, and folk traditions, the stakes couldn be higher. As political polarization intensifies and religious symbols become increasingly politicized, understanding these dynamics is essential for scholars, policymakers, and citizens committed to preserving democratic pluralism. This timely collection offers nuanced analysis beyond partisan positions, exploring pathways toward mutual understanding in an increasingly complex terrain.
