ABSTRACT
Secularism is a way for everyone to enjoy religious freedom. India is a multi-religious country whose constitution embodies the concept of faith and equality.
Although the term 'secular' has not been included in the Indian Constitution since its inception, it was incorporated in 1976 by the 42nd Amendment. However, in the spirit of secularism, the values of secular character were woven into the constitution of India.
From the very beginning, this aspect has been emphasized by the judiciary from time to time. Secularism is indeed one of the fundamental ideals of the Constitution and it can be safely asserted that it can never be changed. This paper shows whether the judiciary in India is secular through the outcome of various cases.
