Explanation

It should be noted that the term 'secular' deals with the religious view of a state. Article 17 deals with 'untouchability', which is a caste based concept and has nothing to do with religion. Article 29 gives all the right to conserve their distinct language, script or culture. Article 14 directs the state not to deny any person equality before law or equal protection of laws. Article 44 of the Indian Constitution asks the state to secure for all the citizens a Uniform Civil Code.
