DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nWithin three years of achieving independence in 1947\, 
 India had adopted a secular democratic constitution subtly based on State 
 supported caste and religious accommodations. India owes its continued sur
 vival as a multi-religious\, multi-caste State to an interpretation of sec
 ularism based on such accommodations. The accommodations that made India
 ’s version of secularism work far are now seriously challenged by alteri
 ng caste and religious equations as well as assertive regionalism none of 
 which was anticipated sixty-six years back when India became free. How Ind
 ia copes with these challenges will determine if India stays secular while
  holding itself together.\nDr.Uday Balakrishnan’s talk expands on the ab
 ove\, drawing on his work-in-progress on India’s first three years of in
 dependence.
