Case Study-based Questions

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

Right to Freedom includes right to freedom of religion as well. In this case too, the Constitution makers
were very particular to state it clearly. You know that India is a secular state. Most people in India, like
anywhere else in the world, follow different religions. Some may not believe in any religion. Secularism
is based on the idea that the state is concerned only with relations among human beings, and not with
the relation between human beings and God. A secular state is one that does not establish any one
religion as official religion. Indian secularism practices an attitude of a principled and equal distance
from all religions. The state has to be neutral and impartial in dealing with all religions.
