In this paper I discuss the crisis of Indian secularism and how Roman Catholic Indian theologians address such a crisis. First, I define the crisis as the result of the application of Western illiberal ideas to the distinct reality of Indian secularism. The result is a separation between politics and religion that resembles that in place in the West. I also study Roman Catholic Indian theologians’ distinctive understanding of Indian secularism and the role that it plays in their theology. Their distinctive understanding of Indian secularism plays an important role in their effort to develop an Indian theology that is properly Indian. 1
