India is a secular country where numerous religions have co-existed peacefully for more than seven decades. The concept of secularism has served as the bedrock for this coexistence. However, the concept of secularism was never left unchallenged. The primary objective of this article is to analyse the modern challenges to Indian secularism. The sociopolitical developments in modern India have resulted in both the growth and destruction of secularism in India. Despite the growth and developments in the social sphere of India, the concept of secularism still faces numerous challenges. Recent scenarios prove that these challenges are a major threat to the very existence of secularism in India. This article analyses the current condition of Indian secularism and discusses the methods to strengthen Indian secularism.
