Jawaharlal Nehru is the architect of modern India. His farsightedness and political wisdom were based on a comprehensive theory of democracy, socialism, secularism and non-alignment. This theory was born out of a rich reading of history and a refined sensitivity to both the needs and sentiments of the masses whom he loved, and who loved him in return. India is a heterogeneous country. After independence first prime minister pundit Jawaharlal Nehru build up unity in diversity. By his hand India started to work as a developing nation. He took few principles for construct of state. As like secularism was very important idea of him. Its relevancy still significant today. In whole life Nehru believed in unity among all religion. He condemned to divided polities. Trust on any religion is always personal matter state should not interfere on it. Fundamental rights of constitution clearly assert right to freedom of religion for citizen. State cannot force to citizen of religious affairs. Even the term secularism not used in the whole constitution at first though the term ‘secular’ added by 42th constitutional amendment act of 1976. But at the end Nehru’s concept of secularism very essential against riots and it can create always communal harmony in the nation.
