    ?In India, secularism means equal feeling for all religions and not no feeling for any religious.? Comment on this.

    Answer:

    A strictly secular State has nothing to do with religion. In that sense it can be said to have "no feeling for any religion". The Indian State, however, does intervene when it feels that a particular religious practice violates the rights of some community. It also relaxes laws to accommodate religious practices that do not threaten the State or violate the rights of the people. While taking such steps, it abides by the Constitution, which guarantees equal rights to all citizens. Thus, it can be said to have "equal feeling for all religions"
