Secularism
Secularism is derived from the term “secular” which means to be “separate” from any religion or any religious inclinations. Religion is an aspect that should be open to all and should be based on the personal choice of any individual, without any differential treatment.
Secularism is akin to the Vedic concept of “Dharma Nirapekshta” which means indifference of the state from religion. Religions are given equal status, support as well as recognition and can be defined as a doctrine that supports the separation of state from religion.
