Freedom of Religion and Secularism: India and France - A Comparative Study

Author(s) VIBHANTIKA DWIVEDI
Country India
Abstract Secularism, as a guiding principle in the governance of nations, manifests differently in diverse cultural and historical contexts. This abstract provides a comparative overview of secularism in India and France, shedding light on their distinctive approaches and challenges. In India, secularism is enshrined in its Constitution, emphasizing religious neutrality and the coexistence of diverse faiths. The Indian model of secularism leans towards a policy of "equal respect for all religions," ensuring the government's non-interference in religious matters. However, this approach has faced criticism for its perceived appeasement of religious groups and communal tensions. On the other hand, France boasts a staunch form of secularism known as laïcité. Rooted in the French Revolution, laïcité separates religion and state with absolute rigor. Public institutions, including schools, are strictly secular, prohibiting religious symbols and practices. While laïcité aims to protect individual liberties and maintain social cohesion, it has been critiqued for potential discrimination against religious minorities, particularly Muslims. This aspect is under constant attack in India thus needs careful consideration. The paper shall be discussing this aspect in detail and provide a probable solution.
Keywords Secularism, India, France, Judicial Approach.
