Question no. 6

The Indian state both keeps away from religion as well as intervenes in religion. This idea can be quite confusing. Discuss this once again in class using examples from the chapter as well as those that you might come up with.

Answer no. 6

The Indian state keeps away from religion as well as intervenes in religion. Because if a person with a majority religion group gets the state power,they may use the power to discriminate and even persecute the minority religious people. It can be understood in case of untouchability. If state power was handed over. It would have been difficult to eradicate from Indian society.
