Communities and Courts: Religion and Law in Modern India: Routledge South Asian History and Culture Series
Editat de Manisha Sethien Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 ian 2024
This volume argues that the relationship between law and religion is not merely one of competing sovereignties – as rational law moulding religion in its reformist vision, and religion defending its turf against secular incursions– but needs to be understood within a wider social and political canvas. The essays here demonstrate how questions of religious pluralism, secularism, law and order, are all central to understanding how the religious and the legal remain imbricated within each other in modern India. It will be of interest to academics, researchers, and advanced students of Sociology, History, Political Science and Law.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of South Asian History and Culture.
