The conception of secularism as viewed in the constitution of India is examined in the context of a local community, based on interview data from prominent professionals (N = 50 males & 10 females). Though this concept itself is not formally defined, the constitution does identify India as a secular state based on cultural pluralism, emphasizing: (1) separation of church & state; (2) acceptance of all religions by providing some basic fundamental rights & freedom of religion, both individual & collective; (3) introduction of reforms of some outdated & unjust traditional elements, especially in Hinduism, through social welfare legislation; & (4) promotion of national loyalties & integration in place of religious & communal loyalties. This conception started on a different footing than that practiced in most Western societies & has come to be called a reformist brand of secularism. Modified HA

The author seeks to provide a political preface to the recovery of a well-known domain of public concern in South Asia, ethnic and especially religious tolerance, from the hegemonic language of secularism popularized by westernized intellectuals and middle classes exposed to the globally dominant language of the nation-state in this part of the world. This language increasingly has become a cover for the complicity of modern intellectuals and the moderizing middle classes of South Asia in the new forms of religious violence. (Internat. Pol.

A description of a seminar on secularism in the Egyptian legal tradition, convened in Cairo on 11 July 1986 under the auspices of the Egyptian Medical Syndicate. Focus was on the essential problem of modern Egyptian politics, namely, whether Egyptian legislation should be derived from the Islamic law as administered by the state (Shari'a), or from secular legal traditions; though support was expressed for both approaches by seminar attendees, the predominance of the Islamic point of view, even among the Egyptian intellectuals, was evident. The former approach departs from the assumption that secularism in Western Europe emerged as the political response to abuses by the Catholic Church; it is inappropriate to the true Islamic state, which does not have a history of religious abuses. The moderate Islamic state should be religious, but not theocratic, allow for freedom of thought & expression, & pursue both material & spiritual goals. Though a concern for the material & spiritual was also expressed by the secularists, they emphasized that the state should be based on the separation of religion & law. M. Polinsky
