One religious community does not dominate another
The State does not enforce any particular religion nor take away the religious freedom of individuals.
That some members do not dominate other members of the same religious community.

Answer 1

Hint: The Indian Constitution stipulates that the country's government remains secular. Only a secular state, according to the Constitution, can ensure that one religious community does not dominate the other, that some members of the same religious community do not dominate other members of that community, and that the State does not take away people's religious freedom or impose any particular religion on its citizens.


Complete answer:
The people of India have the right to follow their religious views and practises, and the government respects all citizens equally. To put it another way, India does not have a state religion. Indian secularism employs a non-interference policy to prevent religion from dominating society. This means that the State creates certain exclusions for specific religious communities in order to respect the sentiments of all religions and avoid interfering with religious customs.

Objective	Why is this important?	Example of violation of this objective
One religious community does not dominate another	It is significant because everyone has the right to religious freedom under the Constitution, and if it is not supplied, there is a risk of rioting and disruption of the country's peace.	One religious organisation is interfering with the celebration of a festival by another religious group.
The State does not enforce any particular religion nor take away the religious freedom of individuals.	It is critical to upholding the ideals of a democratic nation in which citizens have the freedom to practise whatever religion they wish. This is what distinguishes the country as secular. India is a place where people of many castes and religions live together.	In public areas, the French government has banned headscarves and turbans.
That some members do not dominate other members of the same religious community.	Religion cannot be divided on the basis of income or religious affiliation. As a result, it is critical that no member of the same faith dominates other members of the same religion. Every person has the right to practise their religion. Individual freedom must be preserved in the face of pressure from a social or religious community to which one belongs.	Differentiating between upper and lower classes.

Note: The Indian government both avoids and intervenes in religious matters. On the occasions of religious festivals, both the federal and state governments designate holidays, but no religious function is observed by any of the governments. The people of the country are free to celebrate religious holidays in their own unique ways. Only when a religious practice threatens the country's cohesion does the Indian state step in. If a group of people belonging to the same faith is denied access to their place of worship, the state can step in to remedy the situation and assist the deprived group in regaining their rights.
