Centre for Advanced Research on Addictive Behaviors

The Centre for Advanced Research on Addictive Behaviours (CAR-AB) aims to promote safe digital technology use and enhance digital well-being among Indian youth. CAR-AB was conceptualized at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS),…
Politics, Ethics and the Self
For State-Funded Inter-Religious Education
In this paper I address the vexed question of the relationship between secular states and religious education
Challenges of Inequality to Democracy
Democracy, as we understand it, is a process of collective decision- making among persons, which issues in collectively binding norms for the society of those persons. It is a process of decision- making in which persons participate as equals in determining the legal and conventional norms that bind them and in which the group of persons, taken collectively, are sovereign. Democracy can be understood as a descriptive term, referring to political …
Holism and individualism in history and social science
Methodological individualists such as Mill, Weber, Schumpeter, Popper, Hayek and Elster argue that all social facts must be explained wholly and exhaustively in terms of the actions, beliefs and desires of individuals. On the other hand, methodological holists, such as Durkheim and Marx, tend in their explanations to bypass individual action. Within this debate, better arguments exist for the view that explanations of social phenomena without the…
Prasenjit Duara. The Crisis of Global Modernity
Four forms of alienation have been linked to the crisis of Western modernity since at least the late eighteenth century: the relentless instrumentalization/exploitation of nature (alienation from nature); the rise of self-centered, rationalist individualism that separates reason from emotion and imagination (self-alienation); the breakdown of communities and later the birth of intensely competitive nationalism (social alienation or alienation of …
The roots of Indian pluralism
India is one of the most culturally, philosophically and religiously diverse countries in the world. The roots, not only of these diversities but also of morally appropriate responses to them, i.e. to pluralism, go very deep. This presentation substantiates this claim by looking at the relevant edicts of Emperor Asoka who reigned in India in the 3 rd century BCE. Asoka not only advises people with deeply divergent worldviews to live together face…
Beyond Toleration
How Secular is European Secularism
European Secularism, one of the many versions of secularism available in the world, was developed in the context predominantly of single-religion societies, after a great deal of religious homogenization had already taken place. It was and remains a modest secularism. However, with the migration of workers from former colonies and the intensification of globalization, pre-Christian (Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain) and post-Christian faiths (Islam and …
Secular States and Religious Diversity
Contemporary nation-states have seen the rise of religious pluralism within their borders, brought about by global migration and the challenge of radical religious movements. Secular States and Religious Diversity explores the meaning of secularism and religious freedom in these new contexts. The contributors chart the impact of globalization, the varying forms of secularism in Western states, and the different kinds of relations between states a…
Political Responses to Religious Diversity in Ancient and Modern India
One of the distinctive features of the Indian sub-continent is its rich religious diversity. This article examines two political responses to religious diversity, one, in third century BCE and the other in the middle of the last century as India became independent from British colonial rule. In Ancient India, Emperor Asoka issued edicts that advised people of all religious faiths to live together and claimed that the condition of sociability are …
Pour en finir avec l’injustice épistémique du colonialisme
For theoreticians and researchers in the social sciences, the dramatic and perhaps irreversible ending of the hegemony of the main intellectual traditions in the West constitutes a unique opportunity to re-think their modes of inquiry. To date, their attention has been mainly focused on the way in which the concepts developed in a small group of societies – which we shall refer to as the West – have been applied in the South, as well as to the ne…
The difficulty of reconciliation
Two notions of reconciliation exist. The weak or thin conception is akin to ‘resignation’. It is sought by groups that have waged war against one another but have come to the realization that neither can win. Reconciliation in this sense results from an enforced lowering of expectations. In the stronger sense, reconciliation means a virtual cancellation of enmity or estrangement via a morally grounded forgiveness, achievable only when conflicting…

On the Persistent Political Under-Representation of Muslims in India
This Paper is divided into three sections. In the first section I provide a brief historical overview of Hindu-Muslim relations in India and of the condition of Indian Muslims today. I conclude by claiming that Indian Muslims are a marginalized minority who have been persistently underrepresented in political institutions, particularly in the Indian Parliament. This section is important for those who are less informed about these issues and I ass…
La spécificité de la laïcité à l'indienne
Contemporary discussions of secularism in India have been constrained by the tradition-modern(western) dichotomy. For some, secu~larism is originally a Christian doctrine adapted to modern western condi~tions, and means the strict separation of church and state. It is also predominantly a single-value doctrine, motivated either by liberty (as in the United states) or equality of citizenship (as in France) more suited to single~religion societies …
