The provisions relating to “Right of Freedom of Religion” of the Articles 25 & 28 of the Constitution of India make India a secular state. To make assurance doubly sure, the 42nd amendment of the constitution inserts the term “secular” in the preamble of the constitution.
Hence on the question of religion, India’s position is:
India has no state religion,
State does not discriminate between religions,
State cannot impose any tax to promote a religion or to maintain religious institution,
Religious instructions cannot be imparted in educational institution run by state funds and
In educational institutions recognized by the state and receiving aid from the government, religious instructions cannot be compulsorily given to an unwilling students. In educational institutions run by religious establishments, religious instructions can be given only to students willing to receive it. Religious instructions can be given to the minors only with the express consent of their guardians
