Abstract The state in south asian context has been a much debated and discussed concept. The nature and significance of state in the everyday lives of people and its consequences on effective governance are some of the prime reasons why state as a concept has been such a intensely debated concept in south asian academia. In this paper, I will specifically draw upon the historical development and imagination of the concept of state in south asia. Specifically I will engage with how varied early mordern thinkers of south asia imagined the state with reference to religion and the consequences it had on the partition of 1947 and on the disputed territories like Jammu and Kashmir.
