Question

What are secular literary sources with examples

Answer 1

A secular state is a state which is neutral in matters of religion, such states are not against the religion nor support it. And in Indian secularism, the state maintains a principled distance from the religion, but the Indian constitution states that India is a secular state. Following are the features of India Secularism:

- There is no such religious community which dominates the other or is superior to other community. 

- The State is not allowed to enforce any particular religion on people nor take away their existing religion or freedom from the individuals.

So there was no such thing as secular literature in India as it was neutral in its approach and was open to any ideas which the other people or people of different religion would propose.
