The complex relationship between secularism and religious politics in South Asia has significantly shaped the political, social, and legal landscapes of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Although these three nations share historical roots, their paths since independence have diverged considerably, providing a compelling comparative study of the evolution of secularism within different socio-political contexts. An analysis grounded in theory reveals that secularism in South Asia is not a uniform concept but a dynamic and contested space where political ideologies, historical legacies, and governance structures interact, continually redefining the role of religion in governance.
