The concept of Secularism in the contemporary socio political discourse has emerged as the most baffling, intriguing, and a matter of great debate.

Some has coined the term “Pseudo Secularism”. But whatever the notion it might have taken in its explanatory path we need to understand this very concept in its contextual setting. |
