Detailed Solution

The Indian government establishes secularism by following a policy of non-interference and by following a policy of intervention. Indian secularism combats religious dominance by adopting a non-interfering stance. This means that the State provides some exceptions for specific religious communities to respect the beliefs of all religions and to avoid interfering with religious practices. The State abides by non-interference but will intervene when necessary. For instance, the Indian Constitution prohibits untouchability from avoiding prejudice against "lower castes". In this case, the State is interfering in religious matters to put an end to a social custom that it sees as discriminatory, excluding, and infringing on the fundamental rights of lower caste people of this nation. State action can therefore be viewed as support.
