The correct option is D Minority religions are given special protection
India is a secular country. It simply means the Stae does not promote, support or go against any particular religion. Every individual is given the freedom to practice and profess any religion of his or her choice. We have minorities in our country. The Muslims, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, etc. constitute the minority population in the country. They are given special protection under the Indian constitution.
