How the indian concept of secularism different from the western model of secularism

Answer 1

TheIndian idea of secularism is quitedifferent from the West. While theWest emphasizes on the separation of state and religion, the great empires ofIndia were guided by religious doctrines. Hinduism is based on religious tolerance - accommodating others' ideas into its own.

Answer 2

The Western mood of secularism and Indian secularism have one thing in common, they are neither theoretic nor do they establish a religion.

In the US , separation of religion and state is understood as mutual exclusion, the state will not intervene in affairs of religion and in the same manner, religion will not interfere in affairs of state. Each has a separate spear of its own.
