Question
India is a truly secular nation. Give reason.

Answer

  • India believes in the philosophy of Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam' i.e. the whole world is a family. Owing to this feeling, India has remained one united nation by amalgamating all the cultures that exist in India.
  • The way all the rivers amalgamate into the great ocean, our country amalgamates different religions, castes, languages, traditions, creed, customs and festivals.
  • People including great sages, Sufi saints, Swami Vivekananda, Dayanand Saraswati and Mahatma Gandhi always stressed upon peace, co-ordination and universal brotherhood.
  • The great sages of India have spread religious tolerance and secularism across the world.
  • Moreover, many religions such as Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Jainism, Christianity, Sikhism, etc. exists together in India and people remain in harmony and with feeling of co-existence.
  • Hence, we can rightly say that India is truly a secular nation.
