This chapter discusses the deployment of secularism in India in order to contain sectarian violence following the 1947 Partition. In the shifting boundary between the “cultural” and the “political,” this chapter analyzes how the valorization of the two domains has evolved. It describes the continued importance of emotions and passions to modern politics, “emotional intensities drawing on another time or on another world.”
Keywords: Indian secularism, sectarian violence, 1947 Partition, modern politics
