Abstract

The book under review contains important contributions on the issues of religion, secularism and their judicial treatment in the South Asian context. This book is not just another item in the laundry list of saleable commodities. Rather, some of the contributions, such as Srimati Basu’s on personal laws and Chiara Letizia’s on Nepalese secularism, to mention only two, can be recommended readings for any student of religion and law or comparative constitutionalism. What follows is an attempt to highlight, somewhat critically where possible, the important issues raised by the contributors on the judiciary’s attempts to understand secularism and religious freedom in the South Asian context.
