Answer 2

Answer:

hey mate here is your answer

secularism meaning:

the principle of separation of the state from religious institutions.

Indian secularism:

Secularism in India, thus, does not mean the separation of religion from state. Instead, secularism in India means a state that supports or participates in a neutral manner in the affairs of all religious groups.

Indian secularism different from other democratic countries:

The biggest difference in Indian secularism and its forms in other democatic countries is that in most of the democratic countries secularism is conceived as an idea, aimed to promote equity among the religions with state not interfering in the matters of religion, while in India, despite its constitutional significance, it is practiced as a tool of political powerplay and religious appeasement to yield great electoral dividends.

Secularism is arguably the most ill-conceived and misused ideal upon which the Indian state is based. A term, which found its place in the constitution during the period of emergency through the 42nd amendment to the constitution, it has long been a tool of political appeasement of certain minority class in the hand of ruling dispensation.

The idea of secularism, which is essentially a western philosophy, is incorrigibly flawed in the context of Indian state. The idea of secularism in India was not necessarily entirely bad to begin with. It was only sensible for a country with such a hugely divergent religious and cultural practices to not be driven by any religious pursuit. This particularly did not seem to be wrong for a country whose core ideals were firmly rooted in the idea of egalitarianism. The idea of secularism fascinated especially to the Indian intelligentsia who were highly influenced with the western idea of nation state and more than anything else wanted to have a progressive society.
