South Asian Journal of Socio-Political StudiesSummary: Religion has always been the significant feature of all societies. It not only has impacted the human perspective, but it also has impacted the perspectives in national politics and international relations of many countries. However, secularism also emerged as an anti-religion dimension, because of which religion actually could not find adequate space in many countries especially in the western world and so in the international relations too. But despite secularism and the worldwide debate around it, many countries did not allow the diminishing of religion and retained its significance in human life. Therefore, the world also observed resurgence of religion in the world. However, the resurgence in religion around the world has also increased the extreme religiosity, religious nationalism, and religious violence. Many countries have been applying religion as a means of nation-building projects. This paper analyses the secular aspect and the nature of religious resurgence in the sphere of international relations, and also tries to correlate the religious paradigm shift with the present socio-political structure. The paper also analyses the claims of both secularists and modernists proved wrong with the emergence of the “post-secular” ideas.-Reproduced
