India is a Secular country- Explain the statement.
Answers
With the Forty-second Amendment of the Constitution of India enacted in 1976,[1] the Preamble to the Constitution asserted that India is a secular nation.[2][3] Officially, secularism has always inspired modern India.[2] In practice, unlike Western notions of secularism, India's secularism does not completely separate religion and state.[2] The Indian Constitution has allowed extensive interference of the state in calling for restrictions in religious affairs.[4]
India does partially separate religion and state. For example, it does not have an official state religion and state-owned educational institutions cannot impart religious instructions and article 27 prohibits the use of tax-payer's money for funding or promoting anything religious[5].[6] The Islamic Central Wakf Council and many Hindu temples which are considered to be heritage structures of great religious significance are administered and managed by the Indian government[7][8].
In matters of law in modern India, however, the applicable code of law is unequal in cases of personal laws – on matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, alimony – varies with an individual's religion or the lack thereof [9][7]. The attempt to respect unequal, religious law has created a number of issues in India such as acceptability of polygamy (have been since outlawed), unequal inheritance rights, extra judicial unilateral divorce rights favorable to some males (have been since outlawed), and conflicting interpretations of religious books.[10][11]
Secularism as practiced in India, with its marked differences with Western practice of secularism, is a controversial topic in India. Supporters of the Indian concept of secularism claim it respects "minorities and pluralism". Critics claim the Indian form of secularism as "pseudo-secularism".[2][12] Supporters state that any attempt to introduce a uniform civil code, that is equal laws for every citizen irrespective of his or her religion, would impose majoritarian Hindu sensibilities and ideals.[13][7] Critics state that India's acceptance of Sharia and religious laws violates the principle of Equality before the law
