Thus, quite interestingly, the religious majority in one state finds itself as religious minority in the other one. Political conditions of these minorities differ from country to country in accordance with the nature of the political system in the respective country, socio-political history of the specific religious minority and so on.
There are some minorities not so visible on the political front; Parsees, Bahais, Zikris and Bohras etc., in India and Pakistan.
Likewise, the socio-political state of a religious minority rests on the structure of its beliefs, political history etc.; from integration/peaceful co-existence (Parsess, Bahais, Bohras etc., in India and Pakistan), insurgency (Sikhs in Indian Punjab and Muslim in Indian Kashmir), violent conflicts (Shia’s in Pakistan), Persecutions (Ahmadis, Christians, Hindus and Zikris in Pakistan) and the policy of forsaking and fleeing (Hindus in Bangladesh and Pakistan) etc.
Tracing the history of each religious minority along with the salient components of its beliefs as well as its socio-psychological self-perception in the given country, the course will locate important moments of South Asian cultural, history, law, state-policies, as well as human-right situation.
Further, dealing with the problematic of religious politics the following areas, among others, will be of prime focus: Postcoloniality/Partition of India, Sectarianism, Identity Politics and Identity crisis, Kashmir Issue, Terrorism, Khalistan Movement/Operation Blue Star and pronouncement of Ahmadis as non-Muslims in the Constitution of Pakistan.• Constitutional Provisions
• Blasphemy laws in Pakistan Penal Code: Implications & Issues
• Institutional Segregation
• Social Discrimination
• Political Segregation/Separate Electorate
• Violent Conflict and Insurgency
• Persecution and Harassment
• Denying professing of religious faith
