This book looks at how religious studies is framed and taught in
India. It addresses the contradiction between the country's vibrant
religious life and the dearth of comparative and social scientific
religious studies programs across Indian universities. The volume:
* Studies the efforts by Rabindranath Tagore in Santiniketan and
Mohan Malaviya in Varanasi, to introduce and institutionalize
religious studies in India; * Discusses the notions of religion and
spirituality and situates the failure of the 'secularization
thesis' in the context of modern India; * Provides concrete
suggestions on how to develop religious studies in relation to
global citizenship and Indian cultural heritage with the hope of
initiating a larger discussion. A unique contribution to the study
of religion in society and education, the book will be
indispensable to students and researchers of theology, history,
philosophy, sociology, secularization, globalization, religious
studies, education studies, and South Asian studies.
