Detailed Solution

All citizens are free to follow the religion of their choice is true to the Indian Constitution. The Indian constitution established India as a secular state where people are free to practice, profess and propagate any religion of their choice or not follow any. The Indian state doesn’t have any religion as its official one. It gives equal respect to all religions. Also, the Indian government doesn’t interfere unnecessarily in the religious affairs of a community or religion. But whenever necessary, the government takes decisions on spiritual matters as well. So, there is no strict separation of religion from the state, but equal respect for all religions is the main aim of secularism in India. Also, the religions having minorities are given special protection under various provisions enlisted in the constitution so that the majorities don’t manipulate or exploit the minorities.
