The type of world religions approach which provides a methodology for the study of religion as a series of discrete and mutually exclusive traditions came under renewed criticism with the publication of the School Curriculum and Assessment Authority Model Syllabuses to advise local authorities in the teaching of religious education in English and Welsh schools. This article explores the key criticisms of the approach adopted by the SCAA Model Syllabuses in the context of ethnographic studies carried out at the borders of the Hindu, Muslim and Sikh communities in Britain and the Indian subcontinent. It argues that the world religions approach does not do justice to the full complexity of religious traditions in the subcontinent, as it ignores the eclectic or syncretistic nature of religious experience in that part of the world. |
