Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
India is a country that professes secularism. India has not designated any religion as its official religion. The Constitution does not give any particular position to a single religion. It also outlaws acts of discrimination towards people or communities following any religion. On the other hand, the Constitution also gives the State the right to intervene when equality within the communities is concerned. The makers of the Constitution were knowledgeable about the challenge that communalism posed to our democracy. Hence the correct statement would be, The State of India has not established Hinduism as its official religion.
