Secularism

धर्मनिरपेक्षता

In Class 11 Political Science, Part 2: Political Theory, this topic explores secularism as a principle for organising relations between religion, the state and citizens. Students examine freedom of conscience, equality before the law, religious diversity, minority rights and the importance of keeping public institutions fair to people of different faiths. The topic also introduces the Indian approach to secularism, including principled state intervention in religious practices when necessary to protect equality and social justice, while considering major debates and criticisms.
