abstract = {In Religious Nationalism in Contemporary South Asia, Andrea Maljiexplores nationalism in the religious traditions of Sikhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Buddhism. She analyzes how it manifests in contemporary South Asian countries, includingIndia, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. She further points out “while South Asia and its expression are unique, understanding how religious nationalism has manifested in the region provides a stronger and more nuanced understanding of a broader global phenomenon that is increasingly common” (9). Religion and nationalism both provide a “sense of belonging and order for their adherents and both are tied to histories, iconographies, and myths that connect the community together” (12).  In the 21st century, religious nationalism has resurfaced, posing a problem, especially for minorities in the countries of South Asia.},

abstract = {The constitution defines a nation, and Myanmar has struggled both with constitutional making and democratisation. Since independence, Buddhism, which is practised by the majority, has held a special position within the constitution. It has been established by the three constitutions adopted since independence, which were in the years 1947, 1974, and 2008.The 2008 constitution was hailed as a roadmap to Myanmar\'s democracy, further establishing the military’s authority over the country. Being an ethnically diverse nation, Myanmar has also faced insurgency from various ethnic groups. It identifies 135 ethnic
groups within the country, which excludes Rohingya. Myanmar citizenship is based on indigeneity \textendash defined as residents in the country before 1823. The chapter seeks to trace constitutionalism, Buddhism, and the status of minorities in Myanmar regarding the policies of the state and constitutional provisions. The total population of Myanmar is 56.6 million, out of which 88 per cent comprise Theravada Buddhists, six per cent are Christians, and four per cent are Muslims. The 2014 census excluded Rohingya, but the NGOs and the government estimated 1.1 million Rohingya\'s before October 2016. Ethnicity and religion are related to each other in Myanmar in a way, Theravada Buddhism is the dominant religion among the Bamar majority and the Shan, Rakhine, and Mon ethnic groups. The ethnic groups of Kachin, Chin, and Naga follow Christianity. The ethnic community of Rohingya and Kaman follow Islam. In analysing the status of minorities, the study will reflect on the historical as well as the current dispositions of state and minority relations. The chapter proposes to answer the following questions: What are the constitutional rights of minorities? What rights do minorities enjoy about the Bamar Buddhist majority? How is the state and minorities\' relation defined in Myanmar?},

abstract = {Myanmar emerged as the promising state in the twentieth-century as it not only released Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest but ushered into political and economic reforms. The adoption of the 2008 Constitution and political and economic reforms brought an end to the military junta rule. The end of the military -junta rule has not ended the influence of the military within the government. While Myanmar is transitioning into a democracy, it is also facing multifaceted challenges on the human rights front. The increased attack and exodus of Rohingyas post-2012 by extremist Rakhine Buddhists and subsequently by the Tatmadaw after the attack by ARSA has been described as the textbook example of ethnic cleansing’ by United Nations. This study seeks to analyze the transformation of Myanmar into a democracy. It will compare the role played by the government of USDP and NLD in dealing with the Rohingya issue. And how has democratization impacted the Rohingya? It argues that change in the government has not brought any major policy changes concerning the Rohingya issue. Moreover, two governments were controlling Myanmar, one is NLD and the other Tatmadaw. This has further complicated the issue and the military ended up carrying out a coup and seizing the power on 1 February 2021 citing election fraud.},

abstract = {The article will enumerate the causes behind the religious extremism in Sri Lanka. It will underline the teachings of the Theravada tradition of Buddhism about war and conflict. Sri Lanka is a land of Buddhists; a religion that preaches peace and harmony. But a section of monks using the erroneous interpretation of texts is justifying violence on minorities. This has inculcated a sense of distrust among the various ethnic and religious groups in the society and transforming Sri Lanka into a majoritarian state. Sri Lanka has experienced similar targeting of minorities during colonial period as well when Buddhist revival movement was taking place. The earlier incidents of conflict and violence against the Muslims help to understand the present incidents which are taking place against them. Thus, the last section will deal with the various causes which have led to the rise to religious extremism in the post-civil war Sri Lanka.  The spread of Islamophobia has not only contributed but vindicated the acts of violence on Muslims. The attack on Muslims, justified in the name of extremism in Islam and threat it poses to Buddhism globally, will be analyzed.},
