What do you mean by secularism?

Secularism is the separation of a government, organisation or institution from religion and/or religious beliefs.

In one sense, secularism may assert the right to be free from religious rule and teachings, and the right to freedom from governmental imposition of religion upon the people within a state that is neutral on matters of belief.  In another sense, it refers to the view that human activities and decisions, especially political ones, should be unbiased by religious influence.  Some scholars are now arguing that the very idea of secularism will change.

Secularism means the non-interference of the state and the religion in the affairs of each other. In the Indian context, it refers to the freedom of an individual to practice the religion of her/his choice. India is a secular state as the state has no religion of its own. The Constitution of India guarantees equality of all religions and prohibits discrimination against any individual on grounds of religion.
