Let us begin by defining the following terms -1. Secular state: A secular state is neither supposed to compel its citizens to adopt a particular religion nor it can give preferential treatment to the followers of particular religion. Secularism eliminates God from the matters of the state.India is a secular state as specified by the constitution of India.2. Hindu: The below is a very insightful commentary by the supreme court of India. It is a bit long but do read it -" Who are Hindus and what are the broad features of Hindu religion, that must be the first part of our enquiry in dealing with the present controversy between the parties. The historical and etymological genesis of the word ’Hindu has given rise to a controversy amongst indo-logists; but the view generally accepted by scholars appears to be that the word ’Hindu’ is derived from the river Sindhu otherwise known as Indus which flows from the Punjab. That part of the great Aryan race, says Monier Williams , which immigrated from Central Asia, through the mountain passes into India, settled first in the districts near the river Sindhu (now called the Indus). The perisian pronounced this word Hindu and named their Aryan brethern Hindus. The Greeks, who probably gained their first ideas of india pesians , dropped the hard aspirate, and called the Hindu ’Indii’ (28). The Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics,Vol.VI, has described ’Hindusim’ as the title applied to that form of religion which prevails among the vast majority of the present population of the Indian Empire (p.686). As Dr. Radhakrishnan has observed: ’The Hindu civilization is so called, since its original founders or earliest followers occupied the territory drained by the Sindhu (the Indus) river system corresponding to the North-West Frontier Provvince and the Punjab. This is recorded in the Rig Veda, the oldest of the Vedas, the Hindu scriputres which give their name to this period of Indian history.

If a secular country like India would adopt the state religion, then the consequences would be :
1) The people of other religion have to adopt to one sigle religion and that would be hard for them
2) Mostly people would be not ready to change their religion
3) Their beliefs and practices change would affect them
Hope it may help you!
