◾Saudi Arabia is a middle eastern country and a Muslim state. It means Islam is the major religion of the country.
◾The Indian Constitution states that India will follow secular principles which means all religions are equal in India.
◾Pledge of Allegiance is an oath or pledge of loyalty and commitment towards the flag of USA.
