What impact the advent of western modernity had on Indian secularism?

Solution

(ii)It also ushered ideas of inter-community equality to replace the notion of hierarchy.

(iii)Indian secularism took on a distinct form as a result of an interaction between what already existed in a society that had religious diversity and the ideas that came from the west.

(iv)It resulted in equal focus on intra-religious and interreligious domination.
