Synopsis:
The book delves into the complex state of secularity in India, shaped by social struggles due to secularism's clash with traditional Hindu culture. It examines how these pressures affect legal and social realms, focusing on religious freedom, human rights, and conversions. It also discusses hybrid Christian-Hindu practices emerging as a response.
