Authors	Bhargava, Rajeev
Abstract	The author offers his views regarding the criticism against political secularism. He argues that the criticism of secularism looks indefeasible only because critics have focused on conceptions developed in religiously homogenous societies. He suggests that ethical reasoning must be both contextual and comparative. He discusses the movements that have challenged secular states and the French and American models of secularism.
