Religion in India
Religion in India is characterised by a diversity of religious beliefs and practices. India is a secular state with no state religion. The Indian subcontinent is the birthplace of four of the world's major religions; namely Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. Throughout India's history, religion has been an important part of the country's culture. Religious diversity and religious tolerance are both established in the country by the law and custom; the Constitution of India has declared the right to freedom of religion to be a fundamental right.
Indian National League
The party is open to all citizens who adhere to the constitutional creed of secularism. The principles include the unity and integrity of India, the rule of law and equal respect to people belonging to different religions, classes, backgrounds, regions, languages and identities. The primary thrust of the party are to protect and preserve the identity, dignity, life and property of all Indians, especially the underprivileged. The party sought to draw individuals from all levels of society towards fuller participation in the process of national rebuilding and reconciliation. This party fights bigoted and communal forces and does not tolerate the desecration of any temple, mosque, gurudwara or church, nor will it permit interference in the personal faith or religious affairs of any community.
