Calling India "secular" in the Constitution is like calling water wet.
Even before 1976, our Constitution was already secular in substance.
Article 14: Equality before law
Article 25 to 28: Freedom of religion
Article 29 and 30: Protection of minority rights
And no state religion
The word "Secular" is a Western import born of Europe's church-state conflicts. Does not capture India’s historical approach to religious pluralism which is better described by concepts like Sarva Dharma Sambhava or equal respect for all faiths.
Long before modern secularism, India spoke of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. It is inclusive by design. Has nurtured multiple worldviews and philosophical traditions while affirming the dignity of every path
Adding "secular" to the Preamble was, philosophically, a tautology. It is resorting to something lesser than what one has always been and stood for! It obscures rather than clarifies India’s own philosophical understanding of pluralism!!
Shall explain elaborately in an article!

देखते हैं केंद्र सरकार की तरह झारखंड सरकार कब इनकी माँगे मानेगी ।
Modi-ji appoints Nandan Nilekani, who contested the 2014 elections as a Congress Party candidate, because the government respects his experience leading Infosys and Aadhaar and so many other projects.
Priyanka-ji attacks IIT Madras Director Prof Kamakoti, under whose leadership IIT Madras has emerged as the top tech institution in India and has spawned a vibrant startup ecosystem.
One of them is a classy leader.
In 40 years of my life, I would have gone to 100+ temples. I have been to 9/12 Jyotirlingas.
At no temple ever, have I been asked to tell my caste. Never.
Why do people spread such stupid propaganda?
I will never vote for congress till I’m alive.
If Rahul Gandhi ever became Prime Minister, he would label all Hindus as terrorists for his anti-Hindu agenda.
Kuch bhi… I receive threats too. Almost everyday. Simply because my point of view doesn’t suit a section of people.
Stop celebrating as if democracy has suddenly been restored!
What you really miss is not democracy.. you miss monopoly. You miss ur narratives, your cultural approval.
जंतर मंतर पर एकत्रित “छात्र” असल में ये व्यवस्था चाहते हैं
मुलायम सिंह यादव ने नक़ल का बाक़ायदा वादा करके चुनाव जीता था
और कल्याण/ राजनाथ सिंह ने नक़ल रोक कर सत्ता भी गँवाई थी
