The notion of a politics of religion' refers to the increasing role
that religion plays in the politics of the contemporary world. This
book presents comparative country case studies on the politics of
religion in South and South Asia, including India, Pakistan and
Indonesia. The politics of religion calls into question the
relevance of modernist notions of secularism and democracy, with
the emphasis instead on going back to indigenous roots in search of
authentic ideologies and models of state and nation building.
Within the context of the individual countries, chapters focus on
the consequences that politics of religion has on inclusive
nation-building, democracy and the rights of individuals,
minorities and women. The book makes a contribution to both the
theoretical and conceptual literature on the politics of religion
as well as shed light on the implications and ramifications of the
politics of religion on contemporary South Asian and South East
Asian countries. It is of interest to students and scholars of
South and South East Asian Studies, as well as Comparative
Politics.
