Secularism implies the absence of state sponsored or state favoured religion. In India secularism is not based on total neutrality towards religion. It is based on equal respect for all religions. Our secularism suits more in the frame of Sarav Dharm Sambhav than Dharam Nirpepeksh. State is committed to protect the political, economic, social as well as religious interest of its people. Arts. 25-28 grants the right to freedom of religion. They are supplemented by provisions of Arts. 15(1) and (2), 16(2) which prohibit the discrimination on the basis of religion.
