Peter van der Veer begins with nineteenth-century imperial history, exploring how Western concepts of spirituality, secularity, religion, and magic were used to translate the traditions of India and China. He traces how modern Western notions of religion and magic were incorporated into the respective nation-building projects of Chinese and Indian nationalist intellectuals, yet how modernity in China and India is by no means uniform. While religion is a centerpiece of Indian nationalism, it is viewed in China as an obstacle to progress that must be marginalized and controlled." -- Publisher website. 650 0 $a Religion and sociology $z China. 650 0 $a Religion and sociology $z India. 650 0 $a Secularism $z China $x History. 650 0 $a Secularism $z India $x History. 651 0 $a China $x Religious life and customs. 651 0 $a India $x Religious life and customs. 650 0 $a Nationalism $z China $x Religious aspects. 650 0 $a Nationalism $z India $x Religious aspects. 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211025356.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826084334.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20160331010940.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20150520011844.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D5E746F4776911E3809E827FDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
