Write short note on secular literat ure

Answer 1

The Gupta monarchs, being highly cultured, liberally patronized literature and a good number of intellectual celebrities were also associated with them. Samudragupta himself had earned the title of Kaviraja (king of poets) for his various poetical compositions. Harisena, the Minister ofWar and Peace (Sandhivigrahika) of Samudragupta was a notable poet of his court. He composed the famous Allahabad Pillar inscription in ornate prose and poetry, a very good specimen of literary art. Virasena Saba was another important high official in the court of Chandragupta II who was an accomplished grammarian and poet.
Though somehow eclipsed by Kalidasa there were many other important writers of repute. Shudraka's Mrichchhakatika was a superb social drama. Vishakadatta's play Mudra-RakshasatiramaWzed the revolution that led to the fall of the Nandas and the advent of Chandragupta is a political drama dealing with Ramagupta.There were other works like Bharavi's Kirtarjuniya, Magha's Sisupalabodha, Bhartihari's Nitisataka. Bhatti's Ravanavadha (or Bhatti Kavya), Amarsing's Amarakosa (famous Sanskrit dictionary), Vishnu Sharma's Panchatantra, Subhandhu's Vasabadatta, Dandhin's Kavyadarsha and Dosakumara Charita etc. Vishnu Sharma's Panchatantra describes stories having morals intended to teach politics to the princes. This has been translated into many languages. It outbids Aesop's Fables and The Arabian Nights.

Answer:

Secularism in India means equal treatment of all religions by the state. With the 42nd Amendment of the Constitution of India enacted in 1976, the Preamble to the Constitution asserted that India is a secularnation. However, neither India'sconstitution nor its laws define the relationship between religion and state.
