UNIQUE MEETS UNIQUE WHEN CHRISTIANITY MEETS HINDUISM Background The modern relationship between Hindus and Christians began when Britain colonised India in the 18th century, and most of the Indian subcontinent became part of the British Empire. However, by the Second World War, British hold on India had weakened. In 1948, India was the first colony to gain independence from Britain. Missionary activity In India, as in all the British colonies, there was much Christian missionary activity. This was because the Christian missionaries were given material and financial support by the British Empire. However, Christian missionaries found it tough-going because of fundamental differences between the two religions.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Religion Studies/P1 9 DBE/2021 SC/NSC QUESTION 3 3.1 The sources below are both about the Uyghur Muslim community in the Xinjiang Province in China. Study the sources and answer the questions that follow. SOURCE A THE 'RE-EDUCATION' OF UYGHUR MUSLIMS IN CHINA The Chinese government has been clamping down on the Uyghur Muslims since at least 2009. In 2014, they became far more active in terms of police searches and monitoring the Uyghur. Books and literature about Uyghur culture, prayer rugs, turbans and growing a beard have all been forbidden. The government has always denied the existence of 're-education' camps, but photographs taken from space confirm that at least 85 such camps exist. At least 10 000 children have been taken from their homes and placed in preschool prison camps to wipe their heritage from their minds. International calls for a boycott of goods coming from Xinjiang are growing. [Adapted from https://www.dailybulletin.com/2020/09/18/professing-faith-the-reeducation-of- uyghur-muslims-in-china/] SOURCE B EMPLOYMENT AND LABOUR RIGHTS IN XINJIANG In a policy paper released in September 2020, the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) revealed that it had placed over 1,29 million people in re-education camps between 2014 and 2019 in the Uyghur-dominated province of Xinjiang. The Chinese government translated the policy paper into English, German, French and Arabic. The policy paper describes re-education camps as 'vocational training centres.' The document describes Uyghur Muslims as 'terrorists' who rejected modern science owing to religious dogmatism. The Chinese regime adds 'terrorists, separatists and religious extremists have long preached that religious teachings are superior to state laws', inciting the public to resist learning the standard Chinese language, reject modern science, and refuse to improve their vocational skills.

(4) 4.1.2 Explain the differences between how religious tolerance is understood in Western and Eastern societies. (6) 4.2 Read the extract below and answer the questions that follow. THE SPANISH INQUISITION The Spanish Inquisition was a law court established in Spain in 1478. It was linked to a branch of the Catholic Church called 'The Holy Office of the Inquisition Against Heretical Depravity'. Its purpose was to keep Catholic beliefs and practices pure by prosecuting people who did not follow an orthodox path. The court came into being partly to ensure that converts to Catholicism from Judaism and Islam were converted completely and were not still practising their former religions in secret. If they were found doing so, they were tried by the Spanish Inquisition. An interesting aspect of the Inquisition was 'trial by fire' – the idea that, if a person was innocent, God would save him/her, when exposed to a deadly situation, such as being burned at the stake. However, if the person died, it was taken as 'proof' that he/she was guilty.
