The term "Secular" in the Preamble of the Indian Constitution means:
-
A.
Freedom of Religion
-
B.
State has its own religion
-
C.
State favors one religion
-
D.
None of the above
Correct Answer:
A. Freedom of Religion
Explanation:
In the Indian Constitution, "Secularism" implies that the State maintains a neutral stance toward all religions, rather than having an official state religion or favoring one over others. While the Preamble identifies India as a Secular Republic, this concept is further reinforced by the Fundamental Right to Freedom of Religion (Articles 25–28), which guarantees all individuals the right to freely profess, practice, and propagate their chosen faith. Therefore, the term signifies that the State respects all religions equally and protects the religious freedom of its citizens.
