In the Name of the Secular: Cultural Practice and Activism in India Today

In the Name of the Secular: Cultural Practice and Activism in India Today By Rustom Bharucha
1997 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 0195642228 | PDF | 30 MB


The author, a renowned activist, analyzes a wide range of cultural activities, from film to street theatre, painting and literature, which attempt to counter the threats of communalism and globalization. Drawing on the anti-fascist and anti-imperialist legacy of movements of the 1940s, he questions what it means to be secular in India today, within the larger framework of cultural activism and citizenship.
