Abstract Thinkers of Western Europe were concerned with the question of what is the relationship between State and Church. There is conflict and debate of the relation between the two. St. Thomas Aquinas Augustine Machavelli are concerned about their political philosophy to the Church State Controversy of the mediaeval period. St. Thomas Aquinas came out with “Two Swords theory”. He says that Church and State are two Swords of God both have specific spheres and activity. The Church said it is an institution of God. It wants the State to come under its control. State on the other hand argues that how to lead a good life, process required is its space, so there was conflict between two. India is perhaps the only society where there has been a great deal of discussion about secularism. Like most of the ideas secularism also one idea that was produced in terms of our encounter with the West.
