Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Delves into India’s model of secularism, where the state maintains principled distance from all religions yet guarantees freedom of conscience (Articles 25–28). Unlike the “wall of separation” notion, India’s secularism allows state intervention in religious practices for social reform, such as banning untouchability or regulating temple finances. This fosters communal harmony but sometimes sparks debates on uniform civil code, minority rights, or state-funded pilgrimages. Critics question whether consistent neutrality is always upheld. Nevertheless, the Constitution aims to balance multiple faiths fairly, fostering an inclusive social order that respects religious pluralism and modern liberal values.
