Religion, Community and Development : Changing Contours of Politics and Policy in India

The Sachar Committee Report (submitted to the Prime Minister of India in 2006) initiated a new political discourse by making the religious community a relevant category for discussing development deficits. While the liberal–secular constitutional framework privileged the individual over the community and preferred using the category of class, the Sachar Committee differentiated between citizens on the basis of their religious identity.

The articles in this volume focus on the nature and implications of this shift in public policy. Based on a close reading of the findings of the Report, they bring to light the challenges posed by inter-community comparisons, and construct a profile of all religious communities in India, factoring in their concerns of development into the present discourse so as to nuance and modify the simple indicators to which development is often reduced.
