Commenting on the clause of Article 25 which, while giving maximum freedom of religion to individuals, empowers the state to regulate secular activities which may be connected with religion and to introduce reforms within Hinduism, C.H. Alexandrowitz called it “A revolution in the traditional conception of religion in India because it enabled the state to carry out an extensive programme of disentanglement of religious and secular activities, and the rejection of the “wall of separation” doctrine to enable the state to carry out welfare and reform measures in fact expresses the concern with genuine secularization. Often in Political parlance, secularism in India has been described as Sarva Dharma Sambhav or equal regard for all religions; this has been translated as the theory of equidistance from religion. This theory was propounded by Radhakrishnan commenting on the Hindi rendering of secularism as Dharma-nirpekshta.
