This book examines how secularism came to be bound up with what it meant to legitimately call oneself ‘Indian' and shows why this concept's genealogy is so imbued with the language of religion. It argues that the emergence of the category of secularism in India had less to do with creating an ethics of tolerance than with a formulation of nationalism that provided a counterpoint to challenges posed by Muslim and Untouchable communities.
