Inter-religious Domination
- Every Indian citizen has the right to live freely and honorably in any area of the nation, according to the Indian Constitution.
- Many restrictions and forms of prejudice still exist today. For instance, during the 1984 riots, around 2,700 Sikhs were slaughtered.
- Many members of a particular community pray on account of their religious recognition. Some incidents are instances of religious oppression.
- The main ideology that runs against to all of these manifestations of interreligious sovereignty is secularism.
Secularism Class 11 Chapter 8 Polity Notes
Secularism, a foundational principle in the Indian Constitution, embodies the idea of state neutrality in matters of religion. It ensures that the government remains impartial and does not favor any particular religion or religious group. Secularism forms the bedrock of India’s pluralistic society, allowing diverse religious communities to coexist harmoniously while safeguarding individual freedoms and rights.
