Explanation

Secularism in the Indian Constitution means the state does not discriminate against any citizen on the basis of religion. It treats all religions equally and maintains neutrality. It does NOT mean opposition to religion (that would be atheism), banning religious parties, or prohibiting conversion. The state may regulate secular activities associated with religion but cannot promote any particular faith.
