This dissertation explores social identity, secularism, and Indian Muslims’ conceptions and experiences of living in a secular state while debating among themselves the meanings of ethical Muslim selfhood. Also this dissertation contributes to the current anthropological rethinking of categories like ‘religion’, ‘secularism’, and ‘politics’ in relation to social processes and subjects: a series of projects that are related, in the Indian context, to modernity and liberal conceptions of statehood, sovereignty, and personhood. A major conclusion of this work is that while most Indian Muslims have largely internalized (and accept) the liberal differentiation of politics and religion, the modern secular project in India nevertheless remains incomplete.
