Give examples to prove that the secular
Indian state can intervene in religious affairs
Answers
Answer:
Indian secularism works to prevent the domination through a strategy of intervention.
(i)In order to prevent the religion-based exclusion and discrimination of ‘lower castes’, the Indian Constitution has banned untouchability.
(ii)The State is intervening in religion in order to end a social practice that it believes discriminates and excludes, and that violates the Fundamental Rights of ‘lower castes’ who are citizens of this country.
(iii)Similarly, to ensure that laws relating to equal inheritance rights are respected, the State may have to intervene in the religion-based ‘personal laws’ of communities.
(iv)The intervention of the State can also be in the form of support. The Indian Constitution grants the right to religious communities to set up their own schools and colleges. It also gives them financial aid on a nonpreferential basis
Laws and Indian Constitution. The Preamble of the Indian Constitution has the word "secular", and articles 25 to 28 implying that the State will not discriminate, patronise or meddle in the profession of any religion.
The Indian State does not interfere in religious beliefs and practices of individuals and thus keeps away from religious affairs of the citizens. But when someone tries to disturb social harmony in the name of religion then the State has the right to intervene.
