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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rupa Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45675035820183,"sku":"9789355204066","price":192.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789355204066.webp?v=1769295393","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/unmasking-indian-secularism-9789355204066","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
