I don't think India needs to justify its secular credentials to anyone, and most of all to Pakistan which was formed on the basis of religion and today is on the verge of disintegrating due to religion.
That aside, I don't believe that** forming independent India** as a secular state was the best thing to do.
You brought Pakistan to the discussion. Aren't you obsessed with Pakistan?
*There is no mention of Pakistan in the title of thread.

Thanks you for showing your desperation.:)
Just to remind you and correct your thought.
India was NOT formed as an independent India.
It was formed as a left over AFTER what was formed as Independent Pakistan.
This is why India has and **will always have **independence day AFTER Pakistan Independence day.:)
