Politics of personal law in India: the Hindu-Muslim dichotomy / Ghosh, Partha S   Journal Article
Ghosh, Partha S Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract Focusing explicitly on a political science perspective, this article argues that the inter-communal politics of personal law debates in India can be seen as a politically navigated form of identity construction. Specifically the Hindu-Muslim debates demonstrate that today, such contested matters of identity are not merely debated within national boundaries but have also taken on global dimensions which need to be accounted for. Inter-communal politics evidently have important implications for electoral politics, but manipulations of personal laws run the risk of making bad politics.

Sacred laws and the secular state: An analytical narrative of t / Mitra, Subrata K July 2002  Article
Mitra, Subrata K Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication July 2002.
Description 99-130
Summary/Abstract The continuing controversy over India's personal laws even after five decades of Independence is seen by many as indicative of its incomplete modernity and limited secularization. This article challenges such views in terms of two main arguments. First, it asserts that the debate on whether India should have one uniform civil law or many personal laws has made it possible for interests of different communities to be articulated and galvanized into positions. The second main argument of this article is to show, on the basis of an exegesis the cultural roots and historical path of the evolution of colonial legislation, the broad range of resources available in India for the institutionalization of a personal law regime. The convergence of positions both in the high politics of the state and the everyday politics of society points towards the plurality of personal laws as an optimal solution for orderly and democratic state-society relations in India.
