A tricky question: Who is the custodian of a religion?

A tricky question: Who is the custodian of a religion?

Oct 10, 2008

The last imaginative attempt to fill the vacuum was the nationalist movement, which, even more than the question of Independence, was obsessed with the question of the norms and values, the sense of self and history that would shape us. But that legacy petered out; partly because of a genuine disillusionment, partly because of the constricted and wilfully suffocating intellectual culture we created. Whether we like it or not, new forms of religious groups are filling in that vacuum.
