The article raises the problematic of translation of the political doctrine of secularism in postcolonial contexts and the inherent challenges in articulating secular subjectivities that are trapped in the discourses of modernity, nationalism, fundamentalism and religion. Acknowledging that the diverse interpretations of secularism have produced more debate than consensus in postcolonial nations such as India, the authors seek to interrogate critically the relevance of secularism without sacrificing its long-term value for religiously plural societies that are presently witness to the rise of religious fundamentalism
