"english doesn't have this word" not for long
urdu has a word for the pain of separation that contains, within it, the assumption that reunion is cosmically possible. while english is so spiritually bankrupt it can name the ache but not imagine its end.

Lol. Now apparently secularism has charge and has signs - positive and negative too. Soon, it will become complex and have real and imaginary parts too. Then, it will become a complex vector and have direction too. And then it will become a tensor in infinite dimensional space. The definition of secularism is fluid in Indians like how wokes see gender. Secularism originally meant the freedom of Christian monarchs or princes to choose their religion within Christianity [Catholicism or Lutheranism or Calvinism etc] and the freedom of subjects to choose their religion [again within Christianity] no matter what their king is professing. Secularism has shifting definitions in Indian discourse. 1. Freedom of religion 2. Separation of state from religion 3. All religions are equal 4. Sarva-dharma-sambhava 5. Militant Atheism / rationalism Liberals, Please decide what definition you wanna choose and stick it. Don't shift goalposts. @labstamil

There is no such thing as a secularism that emerged independent of European influence because the ontological division of reality into religious and secular only occurred because Christianity was a peasant movement that took over a preexisting Roman civilization.
I realise that my criticism of secularism is only directed towards a specific strain that emerged in the European context. I do wonder where I can read about secular ideologies that emerged outside Europe, and whether they too are flawed.

Can anyone who has expertise in Early Modern English/European History explain this blip in what I am guessing is the Stuart period?

saecula/saeculum/saecularis are terms which can be dated to antiquity but whose semantics shifted from Cicero to Tertullian. Susan Dunning traces this shift in meaning when saecula is used to signify the ruling age of a particular emperor (saeculum augustum)

An early statue of Jesus Christ, produced in Kerala sometime in the late 1600s or early 1700s. It is one of India's only surviving pre-European depictions of Jesus Christ.
