Answer:
Secularism is the principle of seeking to conduct human affairs based on secular, naturalistic considerations. ... As a philosophy, secularism seeks to interpret life based on principles derived solely from the material world, without recourse to religion.
This principle of overlap, rather than separation of religion and state in India was further recognised in a series of constitutional amendments starting with Article 290 in 1956, to the addition of word 'secular' to the Preamble of Indian Constitution in 1975.
The main difference between Indian secularism and its variants is the fact that secularism is used in most of the democratic countries to encourage justice among religions with a State that does not interfere with religion.
untouchability
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
In studies of religion, modern democracies are generally recognized as secular. This is due to the near-complete freedom of religion (religious beliefs generally are not subject to legal or social sanctions), and the lack of authority of religious leaders over political decisions.
