Point of View
What is Secularism?
Secularism means showing due respect to all religions. In a secular state, there is no official religion and it does not discriminate anyone irrespective of any religion, caste or creed. There is no binding on anybody in observing any religious practice unless it goes against the peace, security and integrity of the nation. Everybody is equal before the law and enjoys equal rights. - Bhavika Mansion [Class-9]
Secularism is one which is an important practice in a Democratic country generally people believe in different religions so it should be free to all to follow. In the country which has one major religion usually that countries government is influenced and its impact reflects on the people who practice other religions. It will always work against democracy. Without secularism democracy will never be a success. - Mr. Byju Joseph (Vice-Principal)
