Abstract
Secularism is a difficult and complex phenomenon particularly in a country as culturally diverse and multi-religious as India. In India, secularism acquires added significance keeping in view the crucial fact that Indians have been deeply weeded to Indian consideration in the past and hold on to such consideration even today.
