Solution
‘Secularism’ means the quality of having oneness while looking into other religions. The country like-India incorporates a number of religions. There is no restrain in following the denomination. Everyone is free to adopt any religion, but side by side, one is to show respect for other religions too. Hence, the Constitution of India seeks uniformity on the religious level. The ideology of uniformity in the perspective of religion makes India a Secular State.
