CALL FOR PAPERS! for Special Issue on INDIAN SECULARISM AND IMPLICATIONS OF INDIA’S NEW CITIZENSHIP LAW FOR MUSLIMS!
India is recognised for its diverse cultural heritage and vibrant democracy. Its officials have actively assured the world about safeguarding the constitutional rights of all citizens with no distinction between caste, class and religion because India is perceived as a ‘secular state with no state religion’.1 However, these claims have been put to the test lately, especially since the advent of majoritarian politics in India.2 The trend of populism and exclusive nationalism has reshaped the Indian political landscape making it difficult for secularism to precede religion as the primary paradigm of life.
