| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | ‘Culture war’ is a term that originated with the nineteenth-century German nation-builder Otto<br/>von Bismarck, who initiated a struggle with the Church on control over education, and called it<br/>‘Kulturkampf’ (culture war). The same issue—minus the Church—is a contentious one in India, with<br/>both the history curriculum and the allotment of authority over education being much discussed.<br/>Other themes partly overlap with and partly differ from those in the culture wars in the US, where<br/>the term has gained currency to designate the debate between modern and religious worldviews.<br/>Specific to India are the debates about the definition of Hinduism and secularism, and the<br/>antagonisms within both. In a country where religion is inextricably woven into the social fabric,<br/>and multiple stratifications exist, ‘culture’ becomes a pervasive reality in every sphere of life. In this<br/>context, culture wars assume a significance of great consequence—both immediate and far reaching.<br/>In Hindu Dharma and the Culture Wars, Koenraad Elst broaches a discussion on Hindu ideology,<br/>Hindutva and the Indian national identity, hoping to take this uniquely national conversation forward. |
