 INTRODUCTION
 India is known as the mixture of various faiths and the
civilization of tolerance in the world.
 It is the land which talks about the “Vasudev
Kutumbakam” and philosophy is universal and have the
oneness in the system.
 Dr. Jawaharlal Nehru called India as the “museum of
world religions”.
 India abolishes the inequality on the basis of
religion,race,caste,sex,and place of birth under article 15.
2. SECULARISM IN INDIAN CONTEXT
 The meaning of secularism is different in Indian context it
means “Sarva Dharma Sambhav” which means state do
support religion but not any specific religion.
 The word secularism was added in the preamble of the
Indian constitution later in 1976 by the 42nd
constitutional amendment act.
 The slogan of Supreme Court of India is “Yato
Dharmastato Jayah” which means that where there is
righteousness, there is victory.
SOCIAL ENGINEERING
 Although it is a discipline which is used to influence the
people and their behavior and to mold the behavior in a
specific one on the large scale in the society.
 It can be done by government or by media or by other
social organizations on their personal level.
 And under this a perticular section of peoples are
targeted like in context of India the first such majors were
taken just after the partition where Muslims were made
to realise that they are safe in the country by providing
various rights to them.
 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

 This approach to interreligious relations changed with the

arrival of Islam in the twelfth century and the establishment
of the Sultanate of Delhi in northern India, followed by the
Sultanate Decan in central India.
 Political teachings and religious opinions about Islam were
contrary to the teachings of Hinduism, Sikhism and other
Indian religions.
 Aurangzeb, recognized Islam as the main religion of the state,
destroying temples and imposing discriminatory taxes Jizya
based on religion.
 CONCLUSION
 Social engineering in context of secularism in India can be
seen from the Independence of India where the role of
government of India was somehow criticized and in some
senses appreciated by the various persons and
organizations.
 Sadanand Dhume in his writings in the Wall Street
Journalism criticized the India secularism and he stated in
his writings that India secularism is a fraud because it is
not secularism what we understand in the western society
but it is more of a appeasement of minorities by the
government.
