The Philosophy Of The Constitution
Why do we need a secular country in modern times?
Secular state is must and critical for the national unity. Secularism is first and foremost doctrine that opposes all forms of inter-religious domination. An equally important dimension of secularism is its opposition to intra-religious domination. It is a normative doctrine which seeks to realize a secular society, i.e. one devoid of either inter-religious or intra-religious domination. Put positively it promotes freedom within religions, and equality between as well as within religions. Secular state is must to allow freedom of religion to members of their religious groups. If we value peace, freedom and equality, religious institutions and state institutions must be separated.

Jayesh: I still think that our Constitution is only a borrowed document.
Saba: Do you mean to say that there is nothing Indian in it? But is there such thing as Indian and Western in the case of values and ideas? Take equality between men and women. What is Western about it? And even if it is, should we reject it only because it is Western?
Jayesh: What I mean is that after fighting for independence from the British, did we not adopt their system of parliamentary government?
Neha: You forget that when we fought the British, we were not against the British as such, we were against the principle of colonialism. That has nothing to do with adopting a system of government that we wanted, wherever it came from.
