This volume looks at the secular state in the context of
contemporary Asia and investigates whether there existed before
modernity antecedents to the condition of secularity, understood as
the differentiation of the sphere of the religious from other
spheres of social life. The chapters presented in this book examine
this issue in national contexts by looking at the historical
formation of lexicons that defined the "secular", the "secular
state," and "secularism". This approach requires paying attention
to modern vernacular languages and their precedents in written
traditions with often a very long tradition. This book presents
three interpretive frameworks: multiple modernities, variety of
secularisms, and typologies of post-colonial secular states.
