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.
