| 要約: | Secular
governance
in
India
was
meant
to
have
incorporated
religion
within
public
life,
but
the
implementation
of
‘Indian
secularism’
has
in
important
ways
been
premised
on
separating
religious
and
secular
lifeworlds.
Public
Hindu
temples,
whose
assets
and
operations
are
managed
by
a
melange
of
statutory
bodies,
courts,
and
state
governments,
exemplify
this
puzzling
situation.
The
2011
discovery
of
treasures
within
the
Padmanabhaswamy
temple
in
Trivandrum,
Kerala,
prompted
extended
public
debate
about
the
ownership
of
temple
assets
as
well
as
litigation
that
eventually
reached
the
Supreme
Court
of
India.
Indian
citizens,
erstwhile
princely
rulers,
and
the
deity
of
the
temple
were
variously
presented
as
the
true
owners
of
the
wealth.
Ultimately,
both
public
discourse
and
judicial
opinion
largely
reaffirmed
the
notion
that
religious
institutions
are
to
be
treated
as
private,
contractually
defined
properties,
and
that
temple
wealth,
as
specifically
religious
property,
exists
outside
of
market
circulations.
