Abstract
Secularism has become an accepted notion universally, but time and again due to religious institutional
framework of mala-fide intention the world ‘peace’ is threatened over the years. Consequently people sometime miss-conflict with their religious methodology and traditions, but we need to create a global secure harmonious state as a whole. Secularism word could be equated to ‘Mercury’ which could adapt to the shape of container; thus people and government interpret the term at their wimps and fancies. However the notion of one Religion is must for the 1.2 Billion people to survive for the future sustainability.
21st Century based on democracy of a nation which would run on the wheels of people, if two or more
religious community being the wheel of democracy conflict with each other then Nation would clash with injuries, which would ultimately reduce the strength of democracy.
In 1946 Constituent Assembly Debate, KT Shah Member of constituent assembly proposed an amendment
which sought to declare India as socialist, secular and federal. But, Ambedkar replied, “The constitution of India is merely a mechanism for the purpose of regulating the work of the various organs of the state. It is not a mechanism whereby particular members or particular parties are installed in office. What should be the policy of the state; how society should be organised in its social and economic side are matters which must be decided by the people themselves according to time and circumstances. It cannot be laid down in the Constitution itself, because that is destroying democracy altogether”.
