2014년 모디 정부 출범 이후 인도에서 힌두 민족주의가 부상하면서 종교 다원주의 정체성이 위협받고 있다. 본 논문은 힌두 중심 이데올로 기가 교육 정책, 교과서 개정, 소수 종교 교육 기관에 미치는 영향을 분 석한다. 인도는 오랜 역사를 통해 다종교적 정체성을 유지하고 헌법적으 로 세속주의를 표방해 왔으나, 힌두 민족주의는 교육을 이데올로기 재생 산의 장으로 활용하여 특정 종교 이념을 강조하고 있다. 이는 역사 교과 서에서 이슬람 통치자에 대한 서술을 축소하거나, 소수 종교 교육 기관 을 규제하는 등의 형태로 나타난다. 그러나 공교육 및 시민사회에서는 종교 간 이해와 평화적 공존을 증진하는 종교 다원주의 교육 사례들이 존재한다. 이러한 교육 모델은 학생 참여 중심의 체험 학습과 지역 사회 와의 협력을 특징으로 한다. 본 논문은 힌두 민족주의의 편향성에 대응 하고, 인도의 다원적 가치를 수호하기 위한 교육의 역할과 정책적 제언 을 제시한다.

The present study is an investigation of young Korean Protestants’ views of other faiths and how they understand mission and evangelism based on those views. The empirical research shows that a considerable number of young Korean Christians have now embraced pluralistic viewpoint concerning other religions, along with the postmodern relativistic perspective about truth claims. This research concludes that both perspectives weaken the motive of traditional Christian evangelism and mission toward people of other faiths. The empirical research also indicates the urgency to recognize pluralistic and relativistic tendencies among young Korean Protestants in the history of the Korean Protestant Church. In other words, the emerging pluralistic and postmodern viewpoint, which is gaining popularity among young Koreans, is beginning to compete with the dominant traditional Korean Protestant exclusivistic theology of religions. Thus, we are beginning to see the competition between exclusivism and pluralism or relativism (religious and postmodern). An important missional issue regarding exclusivism and pluralism is that both can easily fail to engage people of other faiths. While the exclusivists close their mind and try not to listen to people of other faiths, the pluralists think it unnecessary to share the Christian faith. As a result they both have that the tendency to avoid engaging with the ‘other,’ that is, people of other faiths. In response, the researcher suggests “dialogical evangelism,” with the intention to escape the missional dangers post by both exclusivism and pluralism, and to encourage Christians to engage the ‘others’ in dialogue and love for evangelism. Having taken other faiths into consideration since the 1910 Edinburgh Conference of the World Missionary Conference, many mission thinkers have become involved in how to do missions toward people of other faiths. The dialogical approach to people of other faiths has proved to be a desirable way of doing missions. On the other hand, evangelicals have argued that its ultimate goal should be evangelism. Therefore, integrating the strengths of these two approaches, for the Korean Protestant Church and the new generation of Christians, the researcher suggests dialogical evangelism as the most viable approach to people of other faiths.
