Religion, Community and Development

Changing Contours of Politics and Policy in India

Produktbeschreibung

While the liberal secular framework privileged the individual over the community and was more inclined to use the category of class rather than the identity of religion, the Sachar Committee differentiated citizens of India on the basis of their religious identity. This title focuses on this shift in public policy.

---

By making religious community a relevant category for discussing development deficit, the Sachar Committee Report (2007) initiated a new political discourse in India. This book examines its findings and highlights the implications of a new political discourse.
