secularism

 SECULARISM 

THE WORD “SECULAR” MEANS “SEPARATE” FROM RELIGION OR RELIGION.

THE MAN OF THE WORLD DOES NOT OWE HIS MORAL STANDARDS TO ANY RELIGION. HIS VALUES ​​ARE THE RESULT OF HIS LOGICAL, SCIENTIFIC THINKING.

SECULARISM MEANS RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL, SOCIAL, AND CULTURAL DIVISIONS, WITH RELIGION BEING REGARDED AS A PERSONAL MATTER.

IT EMPHASIZED THE SEPARATION OF THE STATE FROM RELIGION AND THE COMPLETE FREEDOM OF ALL RELIGIONS AND THE TOLERANCE OF ALL RELIGIONS.

IT ALSO REPRESENTS EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADHERENTS OF ALL RELIGIONS, AND THERE IS NO PARTIALITY OR PREJUDICE FOR RELIGIOUS REASONS.

THREAT TO SECULARISM

ALTHOUGH, INDIA'S CONSTITUTION STATES THAT THE STATE IS COMPLETELY NEUTRAL IN ALL RELIGIONS, OUR SOCIETY IS DEEPLY RELIGIOUS.

THE MIXING OF RELIGION AND POLITICS, WHICH INCLUDES VOTES FOR REASONS OF ORIGINAL IDENTITY SUCH AS RELIGION, RACE AND ETHNICITY, PUTS THE INDIAN RELIGION AT RISK.

SOCIAL POLITICS WORKS BY CONSOLIDATING THE SOCIAL SPHERE, BY SPREADING MYTHS AND SUPERSTITIONS TO A FEW PEOPLE, BY UNDERMINING RATIONAL VALUES ​​AND BY MAKING PROPAGANDA AND DIVISIVE POLITICS.

THE POLITICAL INVOLVEMENT OF ANY ONE RELIGION LEADS TO POLITICAL RIVALRY BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS, THUS LEADING TO RELIGIOUS CONFLICT.

ONE OF THE MANIFESTATIONS OF COMMUNISM IS CIVIL UNREST. IN THE PAST TOO, COMMUNISM HAS BEEN SEEN AS A MAJOR THREAT TO THE COUNTRY’S INDIAN POLITICAL INDUSTRY.

THE RISE OF HINDUISM IN RECENT YEARS HAS RESULTED IN MOBS ATTACKING JUST BECAUSE OF ALLEGATIONS OF SLAUGHTERING CATTLE AND EATING BEEF.

IN ADDITION TO THIS, THE FORCED CLOSURE OF THE MONASTERIES, CAMPAIGNS AGAINST THE ‘LOVE JIHADIST’, CONVERSION OR GHAR-WAPSI (MUSLIMS ARE FORCED TO CONVERT TO HINDUISM), ETC. STRENGTHENS SOCIAL INCLINATION IN SOCIETY.

ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISM OR REVIVAL PURSUES THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ISLAMIC STATE BASED ON SHARIA LAW THAT IS IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH THE IDEOLOGY OF THE STATE AND DEMOCRACY.

IN RECENT YEARS THERE HAVE BEEN ERRONEOUS INCIDENTS OF MUSLIM YOUTH BEING ENCOURAGED AND STRENGTHENED BY GROUPS LIKE ISIS WHICH IS A GREAT TRAGEDY IN INDIA AND THE WORLD.

SUGGESTIONS 

IN A MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY, THE BEST WAY TO PROMOTE RELIGIOUS NEUTRALITY IS TO INCREASE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM RATHER THAN TO USE THE WORLD TO THE FULL.

IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THE PRECIOUS EDUCATION THAT ENABLES THE NEW GENERATION TO UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE NOT ONLY ITS RELIGIOUS TRADITIONS BUT ALSO THOSE OF OTHER RELIGIONS IN THE WORLD.

THERE IS ALSO A NEED TO IDENTIFY THE SAME FRAMEWORK OR SHARED SET OF VALUES ​​THAT ALLOW DIFFERENT GROUPS TO LIVE TOGETHER.

THE REQUIREMENTS FOR LAUNCHING A SOCIAL REFORM CAMPAIGN AS A COMMON COMMUNITY CODE ARE TO CREATE A CONDUCIVE ENVIRONMENT AND CREATE SOCIAL AND POLITICAL HARMONY.

CONCLUSION  

IN THE PAST FEW YEARS INDIAN REPUBLIC HAS FACED CERTAIN PROBLEMS RELATED TO SECULAR IDENTIFY DUE TO RISING JINGOIST BELIEFS IN THE NATION WHICH HAVE PLACED THE NATIONALIST AND PATRIOTIC BELIEFS OF A PARTICULAR COMMUNITY UNDER THREAT . IT IS EVIDENT FROM THE FACTS AND FINDINGS OF THE PAST THAT IN ORDER TO PROMOTE SECULARISM WE HAVE TO HAVE FORMATION OF RULES AND REGULATIONS THAT REACH OUT TO INCLUSIVENESS OF THE INHABITANTS RATHER THEN THEIR DISSEMINATION . IT IS TO BE NOTED THAT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD LOOK INTO THE LARGE SCALE MARGINALISATION OF MUSLIMS AND OTHER MINORITIES IN THE NATION WHICH IS A THREAT TO INDIAN DEMOCRACY’S TRUE NATURE .
