Limiting Secularism

Set against the backdrop of religious violence in South Asia, the book delves into the complexities of secularism and tolerance in Indian society. It examines the Partition as a foundational trauma for India, highlighting the division between "Indian" and "Pakistani" identities. The author, Priya Kumar, investigates the implications of this division, particularly the marginalization of Indian Muslims, who are often perceived as outsiders in their own country.
