  1. Correct Answer – Option 3 : 1, 2 and 4 only

    The correct answer is 1, 2 and 4 only

    • The Constitution of India stands for a secular state. Hence, it does not uphold any particular religion as the official religion of the Indian State. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
    • The Preamble secures to all citizens of India liberty of belief, faith and worship. Hence, the Indian Constitution embodies the positive concept of secularism, i.e., giving equal respect to all religions or protecting all religions equally and interfere if needed. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
    • But Article 28 says that no religious instruction shall be provided in any educational institution maintained by the State.  Hence, statement 3 is incorrect.
    • Article 15: Prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth. Hence, statement 4 is correct.
    • The Islamic Central Wakf Council and many Hindu temples of great religious significance are administered and managed by the Indian government.
