The 42nd amendment to the Constitution of India inserted the word "secular" into the preamble thus making India a "secular" Republic. But is India truly a secular country?
While the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines secularism as "the belief that religion should not play a role in government, education, or other public parts of society", the most commonly accepted definition of secularism is "separation of religion and state". By this definition, I would submit that the India of today is not a secular country. I further assert that the policies of the Indian state are nor just unsecular but smack of blatant religious reverse-discrimination against its majority community.
