On June 10, 2002, the Ethics and Public Policy Center sponsored a conference in which six experts on South Asia discussed the impact of increasing religious militancy—Hindu as well as Islamic—on geopolitical stability and religious freedom in the subcontinent. Co-sponsoring the conference was INFEMIT, a network of Third World theologians and activists led by Dr. Vinay Samuel. In the edited transcript that follows, each of the six experts makes brief remarks. Then other conference participants join them in a lively discussion. Moderator Timothy Samuel Shah is a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center specializing in South Asia.
