In this interview taken by Yvette Rosser (a long time researcher into the school text books of Indian subcontinent), Prof Bharat Gupt explains how European Secularism is largely based on Christian values and a rebellion against the authority of the Church. Hence when imported into India by Nehru it created more problems that it solved. India never had a conflict between the State and religious authority. Prof Gupt also clarifies how no state can be unmindful of religious values as every State has to have a moral code. Hence the State is compelled to draw upon religions and their values. These should however be forward looking and not regressive. Prof Gupt points out that Secularism in India is just another name for Hindu-Muslim relations and how the State is supposed to manage them. The Congress and the Left has always been defining Muslims in a regressive way and hence it has created a resentment among Hindus.
