Mother is God

India is a Socialist, Secular Democratic Republic pledged to secure to all

its citizens justice, liberty and equality, and to promote among them all fraternity, assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity of the nation. This is stated in the Preamble of the Constitution itself. Actually, while the word “secularism” is rather vague, and was introduced by the 42nd Amendment in 1976,

Articles 25 to 30 of the Constitution relating to the freedom of religion and

freedom to manage religious affairs are more specific. They contain the clear

directive that “no religious instruction shall be provided in any educational

institution wholly maintained out of State funds”.
