Solution:Secular and secularism have different connotations in India, although both suggest that the state does not favor any faith. Rather than separation or alienation, this indicates equal respect for all religions.Secularism refers to the separation of church and state in the Western world. As religion was transformed from a mandatory necessity to a choice of personal practice, it gradually faded from public life. The growth of science and logic as alternatives to religious ways of perceiving the world was linked to the arrival of modernity and the rise of secularization.
The tension between the western idea of state maintaining distance from religion and the Indian sense of state giving equal respect to all religions is one challenging issue that develops from this.
