Indian Secularism focuses on more than the religion–state separation. Explain.

The explaination:

(i)The secular character of the Indian state is established by virtue of the fact that it is neither theocratic nor has it established any one or multiple religions.

(ii)Beyond that it has adopted a very sophisticated policy in pursuit of religious equality. This allows it either to disengage with religion in American style, or engage with it if required.

(iii)The Indian state may engage with religion negatively to oppose religious tyranny. This is reflected in such actions as the ban on untouchability. It may also choose a positive mode of engagement.

(iv)Thus, the Indian Constitution grants all religious minorities the right to establish and maintain their own educational institutions which may receive assistance from the state. All these complex strategies can be adopted by the state to promote the values of peace, freedom and equality.
