The Supreme Court has rejected the petition filed against the word secular, which is considered the basic soul of the Indian Constitution. According to the Supreme Court’s interpretation, the preamble is a part of the “basic structure” of the Constitution. In fact, the bench headed by Supreme Court Chief Justice Sanjeev Khanna rejected it saying that there is no need to hear the petition filed in this matter in detail.” After the Supreme Court rejected it, Yogi Adityanath raged on this matter in a program in Lucknow. He said that “The two words” secular and socialist were not in Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar’s Constitution. Congress added these words surreptitiously.
Indira Gandhi added the word secular by amending the preamble of the Constitution
Let us tell you that even during the preparation of the original draft of the Constitution in the country, there was a lot of uproar over the word secular. Most of the leaders opposed adding this word. Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar himself had strong objections to the addition of the word secular. The reason was that the word secular was missing during the constitution making. Later in the year 1975, the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi suddenly announced emergency on All India Radio and amended the preamble of the constitution during the emergency in the next year i.e. 1976. In which the word secular was included.
Secular means one who does not have any special inclination towards any religion
Let us tell you that secular means one who is neutral towards any religion, that is, those who are truly secular do not have any inclination or animosity towards any particular religion. They are neutral towards every religion. Secular does not mean one who denies the existence of God. Many experts and philosophers agreed that secular does not mean being anti-religious, but being religiously-neutral. That is, indifference towards any religion instead of opposition to religion.

Parties have often adopted a rebellious stance on the word secular
The word secular is most used in politics. If we look at Indian politics, parties have often adopted a rebellious stance on the word secular. This is not the first time that there has been a ruckus over it. Earlier too, there has been talk of removing it from the Indian Constitution. Let us tell you that even when the Vajpayee government had formed a committee to review the Constitution in the year 1998, even then it was opposed that this is an attempt to affect the basic structure of the Constitution. It was also said that this is being done only to end secularism and reservation.
