Secularism, as it has come to be learnt, developed, and practised over centuries, has meant separation of church and state – that the state will not favour or discriminate against anyone on the basis of religion.
But in India, religion has often been a factor upon which political speech and action have been directed.
Baijayant Jay Panda talks about this confused secularism in conversation with Swarajya's Arihant Pawariya.
