Talk:Secularism in India

example, many Indian "secularists" tend to be people who support the standing separate penal codes for members of different religions. But I doubt that a secularist from, say, the United States or Great Britain, would want Catholics to have one penal code and Protestants to have another. This is because secularism implies the separation of church and state, and not favoring one religion over another or letting a government foster religious division between the governed, as Indian secularism has invariably done. My point: keep religion in the house and the church, temple, synagogue, mosque or whatever. That's secularism, but that's not its Indian variant.
1532:
article text consists solely of criticism of Indian secular movements, e.g. "Secularists in South Asia consist of Hindu-born Marxists, Muslims and other people" appears to be a red-baiting, Muslim-baiting statement. The article seems to paint secularism in India as marginal, although self-declared secular political parties have ruled India for most of its history as an independent nation. I recommend either deletion, or a substantial rewrite, as the article as it stands is POV, mislabeled, and misleading.

The State is entirely free to legislate whatever laws it sees fit, as long as they don't impinge on the "freedom of religion" (which is a fundamental right). Secondly, even if there were to be some bounds on the State, nobody would argue that it is part of "Indian secularism" to have such bounds. What do the references Smith and Larson say in support of the statement in the paragraph?

So, I vote for keeping the Wiki Page titled as Secularism in India, which has kept its ancient roots while embracing modern (or contemporary) style of governance. I vote as such for the same of objectivity, which is the spirit of Knowledge (XXG).
1906:. (The point the IP edit was making was that there is nothing special about the Muslim Personal law being a religious law because other communities have religious laws too. He is wrong of course because the so-named "Hindu laws" are not religious laws; they are common laws. This kind of POV is likely to be pushed repeatedly.) 1531:
The article text appears to be problematic and POV. It seems to deal with secularism in India, and not in South Asia at large. For example, secularism has a different meaning in Bangladesh or Pakistan than it does in India. Secularism in either India or South Asia is a broad and complex idealogy; the
1560:
Secularism in India has had a completely different meaning from the standard meaning for separation of state from the church, which is a European concept. In fact, secularism in India predates even the Moghul and British rule of India. Secularism in the Indian context is to accommodate all religious
1839:
The leading paragraph of the article mentions that the Indian secularism envisages that "religious laws are binding on the State". This is a major fallacy, as far as I can see. In the first place, there is nothing in the Indian Constitution that says that religious laws are binding on the State.

claiming "Muslim Indians have Sharia-based Muslim Personal Law, while Hindus, Christians, Sikhs and have their separate religious laws. There are separate laws for Hindus, Christians, Parsis etc in India. Info mentioned is incorrect" is based precisely on this confusion. Many people are under the

I've edited the article and added historical and philosophical analysis of the subject. The article accords with academic scholarship on the historical development of secularism in India and seeks to give a neutral account of the different perspectives and situation of it in India. As the title of

Yup, that is the problem. I don't find any mention of "binding" in the Larson book, or the allusion to the 1939 DMMA as setting a precedent for superceding the common laws. The answer might lie in the Smith's book, which is not on Google books, but I could get it from my library if necessary. I
1880:, I don't know anything about whether it's binding on the state, no anything mentioned in the Constitution of this sort. I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say, we do have personal laws for every major religion concerning domestic issues but also have a common criminal law from what I read. 1541:
You're right in that this article talks only about secularism in the context of India, and that if it is to follow its title, that it should talk about the concept in other South Asian. But, as unfortunate as it is, the article's description of Indian secularism seems to be the correct one. For

misconception that there are separate religious laws in India. There aren't. This is only one religious law, viz., the Muslim Personal Law. All other people are under the common law. Claiming that "religious laws are binding on the state" exacerbates this confusion.
