Question
In what way does Indian secularism differ from others?

Answer

There is one significant way in which Indian secularism differs from others.
There is a strict separation of religion and state in the United States of America. The state does not prohibit the practice of any religion and it does not interfere in the religious matters in any way.
On the other hand, in Indian secularism, the state can interfere in religious affairs. However, this interference has to be based on the ideals laid out in the Constitution.
