The Supreme Court of India is currently reviewing petitions challenging the inclusion of 'secularism' and 'socialism' in the Preamble of the Constitution. During the hearings, Justice Sanjiv Khanna questioned petitioners on their stance regarding India's secular nature, emphasizing that the term 'socialism' should not be confined to its Western interpretation. Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud remarked that secularism is a fundamental aspect of the Constitution, which has been recognized as part of its basic structure. The court also addressed the legality of a Uttar Pradesh law concerning madrasas, indicating that any ruling against the law could undermine the broader principles of secularism. The court has reserved its verdict on the matter, with observations highlighting that secularism promotes coexistence and counteracts ghettoization.
