The form and substance of citizenship in each historical period reflect the dominant configuration of socio-economic and political forces of each historical period. The specificity of citizenship in each historical period can be understood by seeking answers to questions like—Who are the citizens? Who are excluded from citizenship and what is the process/basis of exclusion? What is the nature of citizenship? Is it a legal status indicating entitlements or does it also involve active participation in political life? What kind of relationship between the individual and the religious-cultural community is envisaged in the rights and responsibilities of citizenship? What are the avenues of participation towards building a responsible citizenship? Answers to such questions would give us an insight into the manner in which the notion of citizenship has evolved historically, and grasp the complexities of contemporary debates. Contemporary debates on citizenship raise questions around notions of equality and rights, issues of individual, group and community rights, active and passive citizenship and the
relationship between, and relative primacy of, rights and duties.
