वरीलपैकी कोणते विधान/ने बरोबर आहे/त?

The correct answer is Option D (All above).

Key Points:
• Concept and Constitutional Basis of Indian Secularism:
• Statement (a) is correct: Unlike the Western concept of negative secularism (strict separation of Church and State), India practices positive secularism (Sarva Dharma Sambhava), meaning the State has no official religion and gives equal respect and protection to all faiths.
• Statement (b) is correct: Articles 25 to 28 guarantee the Right to Freedom of Religion (freedom of conscience, freedom to manage religious affairs, freedom from taxation for religious promotion), which concretized the secular character of the Indian Republic even before the word was added to the Preamble.
• Statement (c) is correct: In the landmark S.R. Bommai v. Union of India (1994) judgment, a nine-judge Constitution Bench held that Secularism is an essential part of the Basic Structure of the Indian Constitution and cannot be abrogated.
• Key Takeaway: Indian secularism protects all religions equally, is enshrined in Articles 25-28, and is part of the basic structure (S.R. Bommai, 1994).
