Secularism is 'European concept not Bhartiya': TN governor Ravi

Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi stated that secularism is a European concept arising from historical conflicts between church and state, and it was not originally included in the Indian Constitution because Bharat is a dharma-centric nation. He claimed that the inclusion of secularism during the Emergency (1975-77) was the result of an "insecure prime minister" attempting to appease certain groups.
