Under criticism from Pakistan over treatment of minorities, India today told the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) that it is a secular state with no state religion.India falls in a list of nations whose governments do not have an official or preferred religion, a PEW report announced on Tuesday.
The report, which covered 199 countries and territories from around the world, said that 106 countries (53%) don't have an official or preferred religion. 43 nations (22%) had an official state religion, 40 nations (20%) had preferred or favoured religion, while 10 nations (5%) were hostile to religious institutions.
