Abstract: Secularism is where everyone enjoys the entire religious freedom. The government also can't put a pressure on anyone to just follow a particular religion/faith. We got to know about the Article 25 and Article 26 given under Indian Constitution. In a secular state we should ensure that no community tries to dominate over the other community. We should also ensure that the basic freedom of religion should not be taken away from anyone or force a religion on them. The term secularism comes under the 42nd Amendment of the constitution and it's also known as mini constitution. This study questioned whether there is an Action of Affirmation or Reverse Discrimination. There are many instances where India is sometimes a secular state, and sometimes it is not secular. I conclude that sometimes in the name of secularism the reverse discrimination happens with the majority community.
Keywords: Secularism, religious freedom, majority community.
