Introduction

For me, the word ‘secular’ holds no fear. Rather, I am aware of the organizers of India’s secular constitution, for example, B R Ambedkar and Rajendra Prasad. Their aim in elevating secularism was to perceive officially the religious variety of Indian culture. Mohandas Gandhi, the motivation behind the Constitution, was himself a profoundly religious man. In his day by day petition gatherings, he included readings and songs from all the nation’s significant confidence conventions. The sort of religious resilience Gandhi represented is the same old thing in India. It has old roots, extending back over 2,000 years. It is uncovered, for instance, on recorded columns dating from the reign of Emperor Ashoka in the third century BCE. One engraving contains the urging to “honor another’s religion, for doing so fortifies both one’s own and that of the other”. Besides, Sanskrit writing uncovers an old style culture that was mentally lenient and wealthy in debate. In India, numerous philosophical positions have been subjects of extraordinary conversation since antiquated occasions. Indeed, even places that looks a lot of like present day realism and atheism have a noteworthy and regarded history in Indian custom. 

Old style philosophical writings contain numerous references to the Charvaka School, whose followers dismissed any thought of God and the presence of any spirit or existence in the wake of death. The defenders of Charvaka thoughts were additionally concurred a specific degree of acknowledgment and regard by some Indian rulers a large number of whom were exceptionally lenient toward different religious religions. 

The Unique Character of Secularism 

Governmental issues dependent on religion began showing up in India during the colonial time frame. The colonial approaches of gap and rule through presentation of first Indian Census in 1871, presentation of separate electorate in 1909, Communal Award of 1932, all prompted the rise of a cognizant religious personality. In this way was felt the requirement for development of secularism, for partition of religion and governmental issues, with the appearance of provincial advancement. It is secularly seen in this manner, that secularism was developed to remove religion and religious powers from the standard model of governmental issues. The Indian Constitution disposed of state religion or the rule of a solitary religion, in spite of the fact that the term ‘secularism’ was a later expansion. 

Western and Indian Model of Secularism 

There exists significant distinction between secularism of the West and the Indian model of secularism. In the West, it developed out of the authentic cycles of Enlightenment and Reformation Movement to determine intra-religion debates. In India, no such change development happened and mainstream development of India depended on the model of killing character governmental issues dependent on a specific religion and to advance the possibility of composite culture. Secularism development in India suggests shared regard for all religions, i.e., Sarvadharma Sam Bhava and no segregation on premise of religion, i.e., Dharma Nirpekshita or religious lack of bias.
