evidence: Sarva Dharma Sambava, is the Indian version of secularism. In the Indian context, Thomas (1991) asserts that the concept of secularism as a political philosophy emerged in the national independence movement. Further, the conceptual understanding of secular State in Indian context comprises two tenets: firstly, the fundamental civil right of religious liberty, while safeguarding religious and cultural pluralism; and secondly, emphasis on the modern democratic ideals of freedom, equality and justice. Notwithstanding this, it should be also be remembered that secularism in India does not look at religious communities as static; but rather as active and dynamic and therefore the Indian secular State withheld with it the right to intervene, on certain grounds, in order to safeguard the democratic ideals. Clearly, this is unlike the USA’s concept of Secular State (the Wall of Separation) as a complete non-interventionist. Whereas, the concept of Indian secularism envisages a measure of secularisation of Indian society for the sake of forming a national community on common social ideals. In other words, it is the non-discriminatory rejection of all religions. However, this attitude becomes impractical in a nation like ours where religion plays such an important role in almost everybody’s life. The Indian conception of secularism only requires that there shall be no state religion and that the state shall treat all religions equally (Shah, 1968). In this context, as the state allows special intervention, it significantly differs from countries like USA and their understanding of secularism.
