State one reason why the Constitution makers intended to establish a Secular State in India
Answers
Explanation:
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 separate religion and state.[2] The Indian Constitution has allowed extensive interference of the state 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.[5] In matters of law in modern India, however, the applicable code of law is unequal, and India's personal laws – on matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, alimony – varies with an individual's religion
The constitution makers did not want to give importance to any religion as it could again divide the country. 2) After getting independence, the major leaders of India made it clear that India has to be a secular state as they could not afford any destruction in the country based on religion.
