When the era of kings and kingships ended and India got its independence and adopted its own federal constitution Article 25 to Article 30 was solely dedicated to the religious freedoms and religion regulating matters. The framers of the constitution placed several reasonable restrictions over such religious rights in order to determine the view that 'it is the country that governs the people and its interest that is prior most important and not the religion.' Researcher in this chapter has discussed the different portrayals of the concept of 'secularism' in different nations. The primary focus of the study will be on the concept of 'Secularism' in constitutions of Australia, America (U.S.A), and U.K. and the whole study in this chapter focus about the different legislative framework in the world regarding the philosophy of the secularism.
