Answer 1

$<p style="color:cyan;font-family:cursive;background :black;font-size:25px;">With the Forty-second Amendment of the Constitution of India enacted in 1976,[1] the Preamble to the Constitution asserted that India is a secular nation.[2][3] Officially, secularism has always inspired modern India.[2] In practice, unlike Western notions of secularism, India's secularism does not separate religion and state.[2] The Indian Constitution has allowed extensive interference of the state in religious affairs.[4]</p><p>India does partially separate religion and state. For example, it does not have an official state religion and state-owned educational institutions cannot impart religious instructions.[5] In matters of law in modern India, however, the applicable code of law is unequal, and India's personal laws – on matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, alimony – varies with an individual's religion.[6][7] Muslim Indians have Sharia-based Muslim Personal Law, while Hindu, Christian and Sikh Indians live under common law. The Indian Constitution permits partial financial support for religious schools, as well as the financing of religious buildings and infrastructure by the state.[8] The Islamic Central Wakf Council and many Hindu temples of great religious significance are administered and managed by the Indian government.[7][9] The attempt to respect unequal, religious law has created a number of issues in India such as acceptability of child marriage,[10] polygamy, unequal inheritance rights, extra judicial unilateral divorce rights favorable to some males, and conflicting interpretations of religious books.[11][12]</p><p>.</p>$

Answer 2

Answer:

Secularism in simple words refers as an ideology which provides people with the right to follow any religion or not follow any. It permits the state with the responsibility to maintain neutrality in the matters of religions. In a secular country, no state can legally favor or hate a particular religion. However, individuals residing in a country are free to follow and practice the religion of their choice.According to the Constitution of India, states Smith, there is no official state religion in India, schools that are wholly owned by the state can not mandate religious instruction (Article 28), and there can be no taxes to support any particular religion (Article 27).
