The term "Secular State" for India does not mean that India is non-religious or irreligious or anti-religious, but it simply means that state has no religion of its own and it follows the age-old Indian principle of "Sarva Dharma Samabhava". And also State regards religions as private affairs of citizens and does not discriminate on this basis.
