Indore: “Secularism is the backbone of Indian society and there can’t be any other political philosophy better than secularism for our country. The Constitution of India has guaranteed full religious freedom to all the citizens living in the country,” said Dr. Shakeel Samdani, renowned scholar, orator and senior faculty member, Faculty of Law, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh.

Dr Samdani was speaking at the 54th summer lecture series organised by Abhyas Mandal, renowned social organisation of Indore. He said that our Constitution says that one can not only practice but also can propagate his religious philosophy. He also added that it is enshrined in our Constitution that the state will remain neutral towards religion.

The significance of this lecture is that since 54 years, continuously every year this lecture series is organised. It is also famous for its punctuality and quality and has the honour to have three former Prime Ministers namely Morarji Desai, Chandra Shekhar and I K Gujral as its speaker and for the first time any faculty member from Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) was invited to deliver this prestigious lecture.
