Abstract
Evolution of ‘secularism’ and the decline of the social role of religions can be seen as instrumental in changing the paradigm of ethics and politics in modern times. Apparently, the relationship between religion and politics came up with a contemporary predicament of secular ethics in politics as against religious ethics which was its primary or earlier form or foundation. The ambivalent nature of Indian secularism – political and religious (ethical) has its history against the background of the western secularism which arose against the background of Christianity. At this juncture, an analysis of Charles Taylor and a re-reading of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi can be relevant in our attempt to understand the dialectics of ethics and politics in the present times
