Hey mate.




Secularism, like the other two sanskritisation and westernernisation also has accelerated the process of social change. To a layman, secularisation involves separation of matters ecclesiastical from matters temporal and religion stays off politics. Secularization or rationalization is a revolt against ritualism, priestism, superstition, and concept of purity and impurity.

In the Upanishad was heard for the first two a voice of revolt against ritualism. The Bhagavad-Gita, not only eliminated sacrifice and ceremony, but also stressed upon the basic concept that every action of the individual is governed by JNAN, ‘Bhakti and ‘Karma’.

The Bhakti movement challenged priestism and ritualism very successfully. Buddhism eliminates God and considers ‘Dharma’ as absolutely secular in its contents. Blind faith in unscientific ritualism had a gradual decline because of the emergence of Biological Sciences, and dominance of conscience and rationalism over retualism.The term ‘Secularization’ was born in Europe a few centuries back, privately in 1648 A.D. as a process of transfer of properties of church to the control of the Princes.

Steady decline in the influence of religion in all areas of social and individual life was identified with secularization process. Peter Berger used the term secularisation to indicate the process by which sectors of society and culture arc removed from the domination of religious institutions and symbols.

Most definite and to the point definition of secularism has been given by an eminent Indian sociologist M.N. Srinivas, who connotes, “the term secularisation implies that what was previously regarded as religious is now ceasing to be such and it also implies the process of differentiation. Which results the various aspects of socio-economic, political, legal, moral becoming increasingly discrete to each other.”

Y. Singh in his book ‘Modernisation of Indian Tradition’ Precisely explains secularization as a “sub-process of modernisation.”

Principles of Secularization:

secularization as a process of social change is based upon the following principles:

(i) It conforms to workly matters

(ii) It involves separation of state from religious affairs

(iii) It distances society from religion

(iv) It personalizes or individualizes religious affair

(v) It considers all rituals purely artificial & man-made
