A V Vishal (Advocate) 19 May 2009
THE SUPREME Court has defined secularism thus: ``If all human activity in this world could be labelled secular on the ground that it appertains to this world as against the other world, all religious thought and activity could be described as secular. But the term is not used so broadly. It is a convenient label to distinguish all that is done in this world without seeking the intervention or favour of, or propitiating a super human or divine power or Being from that which is done professedly to please or to carry out the will of the Divinity. Secularism in the realm of philosophy is a system of utilitarian ethics, seeking to promote greatest human happiness or welfare, quite independent of what may be called either religious or the occult.'' (Ziauddin Burhanuddin Bokhari vs Brijmohan Ramdass Mehra, AIR 1975 SC 1788 at Page 1800).
