Following conceptualisation of secularism, she discusses its salient features as determined in our Constitution and India's traditional heritage in this regard till it was poisoned by the British's `divide and rule' policy and its resultant effect. Examining challenges directed against secularism in India along with reasons thereof, she emphasises, in the interest of national development, the necessity of alignment of conduct of individual to principles of true secularity and a proper coordination between secularity and freedom of religion. - Reproduced
