  1. Correct Answer – Option 3 : Both 1 and 2

    The correct answer is Both 1 and 2.

    • The Indian Constitution mandates that the Indian state be secular.
    • According to the Constitution, only a secular state can realize its objectives to ensure the following :-
      • that one religious community does not dominate another
      • that some members do not dominate other members of the same religious community
      • that the State does not enforce any particular religion nor take away the religious freedom of individuals
    • All statements are correct.
    • As per the constitution, the Indian state is not ruled by a religious group and nor does it support any one religion.
    • Indian state adopts a strategy of noninterference. This means that in order to respect the sentiments of all religions and not interfere with religious practices, the State makes certain exceptions for particular religious communities.
    • The Indian Constitution bans untouchability in order to prevent the religion-based exclusion and discrimination of ‘lower castes’.
