Secularism in India implies equitable treatment of all opinions by the state. With the 42nd Clause of the Constitution of India constituted in 1976, the Preamble to the Constitution alleged that India is a secular nation.
The association between secularism and efficient functioning of democracy had been well organized in Europe, and since India was to support the models of government, secularism was considered absolutely essential.
The 42nd Amendment, enacted by the Congress Government directed by Sonia Gandhi modified the description of India from a ‘sovereign democratic republic’ to a ‘ socialist secular democratic, sovereign, republic’, and also appended unity and integrity of the nation.
