Role of Media to Promote Secularism in India: A Critical Discussion
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: : India is a major democratic state where community diversity exists in many forms. Linguistic, positional, natural, cultural, eating habits, clothing, etc. are among the various aspects of India’s national solidarity. In the social system, the concepts of religion and neutrality are combined with Secularism. The analysis of money has become very controversial today. During the colonial period, attempts were made to strengthen the ideology of Secularism through the Indian independence movement for the purpose of liberation from the pseudo-authority of British rule. After the long journey through the social system, we have now reached the 21st century where the ideology of Secularism is limited to constitutional restrictions. Political parties have provoked minority communal riots and ethnic hatred for small political interests. Additionally, media and social media do not accept messages of pure religious ideology as carriers to promote the bias of political power parties, exacerbating religious intolerance.
