This captivating book delves into the intricate dynamics of religious studies in India, exploring the fascinating interplay between the country's vibrant religious life and the scarcity of comparative and social scientific religious studies programs in its universities. It sheds light on the pioneering efforts of figures such as Rabindranath Tagore in Santiniketan and Mohan Malaviya in Varanasi to introduce and institutionalize religious studies in India. The book also critically examines the concepts of religion and spirituality within the context of modern India, challenging the notion of secularization and offering valuable insights into its complexities. By proposing concrete suggestions for developing religious studies in tandem with global citizenship and Indian cultural heritage, the book aims to ignite a broader and more meaningful discussion on this vital subject.

A groundbreaking contribution to the field of religion in society and education, this book is a must-read for students and scholars engaged in theology, history, philosophy, sociology, secularization, globalization, religious studies, education studies, and South Asian studies. Its comprehensive analysis and thoughtful recommendations provide a valuable roadmap for understanding the multifaceted nature of religion in India and its potential for fostering intercultural dialogue and promoting social cohesion.
