In the Name of the Secular: Contemporary Cultural Activism in India (original) (raw)

1998

Abstract

Author and activist Rustom Bharucha 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.
