ABSTRACT
A secular society is one that is modern, pluralistic, coexisting, rational, and developing in tandem with its rapidly expanding multicultural population. The transition from a holy to a secular society is one of the most essential shifts that Indian civilization must undertake. As a traditional agricultural civilization evolves into a contemporary industrial one, this is a necessary component of transition. In order to understand the secularism enshrined in India’s Constitution, one must look at the following sections, rather than through a Western lens: The right to freely profess, practice, and promote one’s religion, as well as the right to found and oversee religious organizations, are all protected by the Constitution. Equal protection under the law, nondiscrimination in public accommodations, and fair treatment in hiring practices are all parts of this document, which also outlaw’s religious discrimination and promotes equality for all citizens.
