How is India different from Western secularism?
Indian concept of secularism is different from the Western concept of secularism. In the West it is conceived as separation of state and religion. Although in India secularism is not separate from religion. Rather state see all religion as equal.
The Western secularism means total non-interference of state and religion in the functioning of each other. The state is allowed to curtail the rights of citizens, if the religion is causing hindrance in the functioning of state.
