Model Answer

Two measures to promote secularism as mentioned in the Indian Constitution:

  1. The Constitution provides all individuals and communities the freedom to profess, practise and propagate any religion, or not to follow any religion at all.
  2. The Constitution prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion and gives no official status to any religion.

Explanation

The question asks specifically for constitutional provisions, so answers must come directly from the "Secular state" section of the textbook. Examiners expect two distinct points — each stated clearly in one sentence. Avoid vague statements like "India is secular"; instead, name the specific constitutional provisions. Writing "no official religion" and "freedom to practise religion" are the two cleanest answers here.
