It traces how this model fostered intolerant anticlerical views toward Catholicism and Judaism in Europe, which were later adapted into colonial descriptions that mischaracterized Hinduism and the caste system as false religion, ultimately harming local forms of coexistence in India.  aFreedom of religion Europe  aIndia Colonial influence  aReligion and politics India  aSecularism India
