Which feature of indian constitution does not entail secular characteristics

India has acquired multiculturalism from a very backdate. There are numerous religions and societies present in India and due to such multiculturalism, it has acquired for itself a striking character in the world. As it is said one language, culture, history, and religion are the very foundation for creating a state yet India emerges as one of its exceptions where it remains a nation with multiple cultures, languages, and religions. So what is secularism? Secularism implies the detachment of religion from the state. The concept of secularism can be perceived in two ways; one that the religion should not meddle in political or state matters and another, the state should not interfere in religious affairs. Model of Indian secularism Controversy has always been there that the Indian model of secularism is based on the Western model of secularism, but the same appears otherwise. The western model serves a strict policy of separation of state and religion and such principle is mutual separation. Hence in this model, the state has no title to interfere in religious activities and the same operate for religion. Both separately and independently functions in their jurisdiction. The state has no power, to build a policy having religious rationale, aid any religious institution; moreover, there is a very limited window for minority right matters. Need for secularism India being a multicultural country needs secularism as a binding force. India as a Union of the state consists of peo...
