| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Over the last couple of decades, it has become fashionable in some quarters to attribute the apparent rise of communal discord in colonial and post-colonial South Asia to the imposition on India of a 'modern secularist' ideology imported from the West. This foreign imposition, we are told, has undermined the conditions that enabled Indians associated with different religious and social identities to live side by side in relative harmony-conditions sometimes referred to as provided by something like (to paraphrase) a 'tradition of Indian tolerance rooted in its composite culture'. |
