The biggest difference in Indian secularism and its forms in other democatic countries is that in most of the democratic countries secularism is conceived as an idea, aimed to promote equity among the religions with state not interfering in the matters of religion, while in India, despite its constitutional significance, it is practiced as a tool of political powerplay and religious appeasement to yield great electoral dividends.
Secularism is arguably the most ill-conceived and misused ideal upon which the Indian state is based. A term, which found its place in the constitution during the period of emergency through the 42nd amendment to the constitution, it has long been a tool of political appeasement of certain minority class in the hand of ruling dispensation.
Secularism can be a virtue for any democratic society, but to achieve that, the true idea of secularism must be protected rather than using its selective definition to further certain political interest. With secularism we appear to be more biased than unbiased in the pursuit of our constitutional values.
