Question

What provision of the Indian Constitution provide for a secular character of the nation?

Answer 1

Liberals: Wanted a nation which tolerated all religions. They argued for an elected Parliamentary government, subject to laws interpreted by a well-trained judiciary that was Independent of rulers and officials. They were not democrats.

Radicals: Wanted a nation in which government was based on the majority of a country’s Population. They disliked concentration of property in hands of a few, not the existence of private property.

Conservatives: They resisted change. After the revolution they started accepting changeProvided it was slow and had links and respected the past.

Answer 2

It was in the year 1976 that India was declared as a secular country.

This means that every citizen or individual of the country is free to practce any religion they like and promote the same.

But it should not harm the sentiments of people of other religion in any manner.

In short all religions need to be accepted by the government.
