Funded Activity Summary

Religion and Governance in India, c.1000-2000 CE. This project will add significantly to the fund of Australian knowledge about the most important country in our region. It will feed into the continuing debate in this country on the proper balance between secularism and 'multiculturalism'. It will enhance our international scholarly reputation. By illuminating ways in which Indian governments have managed to mediate and contain social tensions produced by warring fundamentalisms, it will assist our policy-makers in identifying aspects of Australian communal life at risk of expolitation by zealots linked to overseas terrorist networks, thereby adding to our security.
