Detailed Solution

A secular state has a state religion not true for a secular state.
The Indian Constitution marks India as a secular state. This means the state cannot promote any particular religion. As a result, it cannot confer the status of state religion on any religion. Religious groups cannot influence the state in the execution of its powers. However, Indian secularism provides a provision for the state to intervene and protect the freedom and equality of various individuals and minority groups. Hence, the secular state ensures that the dominant religious group doesn't overpower the marginalised groups. The principles of secularism in the Indian constitution have been laid down to protect people from discrimination and tyranny.
