Scholarship on India is not an exception. Considerable ink has been spent on a normative and historical assessment of the content of secularism under the Indian constitution. The most influential accounts of secularism in India stress the uniqueness of the Indian constitutional experiment, interpreting it as principled, ameliorative and contextual. Nevertheless, this methodology may have blind spots. The Indian state institutions have often fallen short of the normative promise of secularism. Religion-inspired reasons – directly or through proxies – have come to dominate the legislative agenda.6 Institutions have not maintained their neutrality, among other things, in dealing with the concerns of security and protection of minority populations.The Indian literature has yet to consistently probe and problematize secularism’s ubiquitous inconsistency in the institutional mechanisms of the country. The chapter approaches Indian secularism from the perspective of social stratification, by focusing on the intersecting institutional debates on affirmative action for Muslims in India. I argue that Indian secularism, as a regulatory practice, is far more slippery and disjointed than most contemporary accounts may concede. Indian secularism is marked by patterns of contradictory constructions of what counts as ‘religious’ as opposed to ‘secular’. Thus, the everyday regulation of religious claims through secularism often does not offer a coherent normative content but is more of a negotiation with religious claims that are seen to be dangerous.","PeriodicalId":368729,"journal":{"name":"Regulating Religion in Asia","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134122688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
