The term “Secular” means being ""separate"" from religion, or having no religious basis. Secularism means separation of religion from political, economic, social and cultural aspects of life, religion being treated as a purely personal matter. With the Forty-second Amendment of the Constitution of India enacted in 1976, the Preamble to the Constitution asserted that India is a secular nation. The Constitution does not recognize, it does not permit, mixing religion and State power. That is the constitutional injunction. Secularism in India, thus, does not mean the separation of religion from state. Instead, secularism in India means a state that supports or participates in a neutral manner in the affairs of all religious groups. The presentation gives in-depth understanding on the topic.
