If India is not secular, then India is not India at all.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of India being a secular nation. It suggests that the essence of India lies in its secularism. The statement implies that India's identity and character are deeply rooted in its commitment to religious tolerance and the separation of religion and state. Embracing secularism allows for the coexistence of diverse religious, ethnic, and cultural communities in India, contributing to a pluralistic and inclusive society. The quote argues that if India deviates from this secular principle, it would fundamentally change its essence and depart from what defines it as a nation.
