How does strategy of
non-interference and intervention work
together?
Answers
Answer:
Indian Secularism is based on the principle of Equal respect for all religions, where State respects every religious community and their sentiments. The strategy of non interference implies State will not interfere in the religious practices of any religion. For example, Sikhs are allowed to wear Turbans, which is their religious symbol. However, this does not mean that our principle of Secularism is absolute, State practices principled distance where it can initiate state sponsored reform , to deal with certain religious practices which are discriminatory and unjust, like caste.
is it helpful
Answer:
Indian secularism works to prevent the domination through a strategy of intervention.
(i)In order to prevent the religion-based exclusion and discrimination of ‘lower castes’, the Indian Constitution has banned untouchability.
(ii)The State is intervening in religion in order to end a social practice that it believes discriminates and excludes, and that violates the Fundamental Rights of ‘lower castes’ who are citizens of this country.
(iii)Similarly, to ensure that laws relating to equal inheritance rights are respected, the State may have to intervene in the religion-based ‘personal laws’ of communities.
(iv)The intervention of the State can also be in the form of support. The Indian Constitution grants the right to religious communities to set up their own schools and colleges. It also gives them financial aid on a nonpreferential basis
