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.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
