Question

The Indian state both keeps away from religion as well as intervenes in religion. This idea can be quite confusing. Discuss this once again in class using examples from the chapters as well as those that you might have come up with

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi

The state keeps away from religion as The Republic Of India is a secular country which does wants to intervene in any religion.This shows that there is no official state religion.

But this dosen't  mean that state can't step in if any religion is being exploited.

according to the fundamental rights inscribed in the constitution the nation will protect the minority religion

Conclusion- The state only intervenes when and required as per the scenarios

thank you

Answer 2

$\large\mathfrak\purple{Explanation✓}$

The Indian state both keeps away from religion, as well as intervenes in religion. If a person with a majority religious group gets the state power, he may use the power to discriminate and persecute the people of other religions. The majority may even deprive the minority of practising their religion. For example, untouchability still exists in the Hindu community. If the state power is handed over to a person belonging to an upper-caste Hindu majority, he may use it as a weapon against the lower-class people of the society or that state.
