Sansad Watch Ep 33: How the meaning of 'secularism' has changed through the ages

Write this down somewhere – today, the definition of the word "secular" is elastic. We have loudmouth anchors and politicians offering up their own definitions of secularism, but it wasn't always this way.

In this episode, we delve deep into how the meaning of secularism has been changing since 1947. From the constituent assembly debates to Indira Gandhi inserting it into the preamble of the constitution, a lot has happened in the last 75 years.
