It reserves seats for religious minorities. This statement about India as a secular state is incorrect.
India is a country with varied diversity and culture that practices secularism, which means the state does not promote any single religion as the official or state religion. Everybody's free to practise or not practise any religion. This ensures a peaceful and harmonious environment with people respecting cultural diversity and each other's faith. The state prohibits any form of discrimination on the grounds of religion by majority communities. Communism continues to pose a threat to the democracy of countries due to the ideal of secularism that has been adopted which allows everybody to practise their respective religions.
