Abstract

In this paper, I aim to analyze what aspires the Indian government and the judiciary to interfere in certain religious matters while refraining from others, and how Indian secularism facilities and at time justifies such interference and at others distance itself. This is to say, I will discuss how Indian secularism deals with issues that create confusion for those who see secularism solely as a hegemonic western concept and as a result fail to understand the distinctiveness of Indian Secularism.
