Gitanjali J Angmo Follow @GitanjaliAngmo Calling India "secular" in the Constitution is like calling water wet; Even before 1976, our Constitution was already secular in substance Article 14: Equality before law Article 25 to 28: Freedom of religion Article 29 and 3O: Protection of minority rights And no state religion The word "Secular" is a Western import born of Europes church-state conflicts Does not capture Indias historical approach to religious pluralism which is better described by concepts] like Sarva Dharma Sambhava or equal respect for all faiths. Lons before modern secularism, India spoke of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam It is inclusive by desisn. Has nurtured multiple worldviews and philosophical traditions while affirmins the disnity of every path Addins "secular" to the Preamble was, philosophically, a tautology It is resortingto something lesser than what one has always been and stood for! It obscures rather than clarifies Indias own philosophical understanding of pluralism!!
