Summary: | In a characteristically multi-religious society as India where liberation is the cry of the hour, few topics could be as pertinent as I iberating dialogue. The fact that the two concerns-liberation and dialogue are linked together for reflection is itself significant, in as much as it points to certain clear convictions emerging at the global level, specially in Third World societies. Not long ago, there persisted much skepticism about, and even negation of any positive role to religion in the project of liberation. One thought that the 'secular' was the surest path leading to liberation. With so much confusion and debate around the concept of the secular, there is a growing realization today that religions can play, in spite of their past scandalous history of oppression and enslavement, a much needed role of liberation. |
