Answer 1

Answer:

The word "secular" generally refers to worldly, rather than spiritual. In prehistoric India, there were many kinds of literature which were non-religious in nature. The law books of ancient India was known as 'Dharmasutras' and 'Smritis'. These literary books were known as secular literature.
