Secular Common Sense

Interrogating India is a new series that looks critically at the common sense prevailing on some of the most pressing issues of our times. Passionate, accessible and opinionated, these reflections from some of India's best minds will help to make better sense of the public debate on these issues while, hopefully, provoking us to respond to the challenges they present. In this essay, Mukul Kesavan argues that secularism is and always has been the political common sense of the Republic.
