उत्तर
The above question in the context of the Preamble to the constitution declaring India to be the Secular-Democratic Republic is answered as under.
The manner in which the word ‘Secular’ is introduced into the Preamble of the Constitution of India, refers to the religious aspect. Ours is the country that is dominated by the maximum number of religions. Every religion follows different traditions and rituals. In this light, the makers of the Constitution had to look into every religion with the same point of view, hence it was decided to treat all religions equally, so as to avoid any sort of dispute that might erupt in the name of religion. The impartial attitude adopted towards religion on legal grounds stepped into the need to mention a word like-‘Secular’ in the Constitution. That means. Anyone is free to adopt any religion.
