Solution
The correct option is A (i)
Secularism in India means equal treatment of all religions
by the state. With the 42nd Amendment of the Constitution of India enacted in 1976,
the Preamble to the Constitution asserted that India is a secular nation.
However, neither India's constitution nor its laws define the relationship
between religion and state. The laws implicitly require the state and its
institutions to recognize and accept all religions, enforce parliamentary laws
instead of religious laws, and respect pluralism.
