Description

Explore the complex landscape of religious education in India with this academic volume from Routledge. This book examines how religious studies is framed and taught within the country, addressing the significant gap between India's active religious life and the lack of comparative or social scientific programs in many universities. Readers will gain a better understanding of the historical attempts to institutionalize these studies, including the specific efforts made by Rabindranath Tagore in Santiniketan and Mohan Malaviya in Varanasi. The text also examines the definitions of religion and spirituality, providing a deep look at why the secularization thesis has not worked as expected in the context of modern India. This is an essential resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the social and cultural history of religious academic structures in the region.
