Claim: Audio clip of Lakshmi Mittal speaking against the idea of secularism in India and endorsing the concept of state religion (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-05-31)
Evidence (2020-10-30): The term secularism in India means that the state shall provide equal treatment to all religions. Secularism demands a doctrine where all religions should be given equal status, support as well as recognition from the state or it can also be termed as a doctrine that promotes separation of state and religion. This article particularly focuses on the concept of secularism in Indian democracy, the various threats against the concept of a secular state and the fate of secularism in India along with some significant judgments pronounced by the apex court of the country. [...] FATE OF SECULARISM IN INDIA [...] The concept of secularism as such is difficult to define and thus the Indian Constitution did not provide any definition for secularism. Thus the statement that there is no State religion in India means that the state does not support or favour any particular religion and treats all religions and religious groups equally. Therefore, the basis of the Indian Constitution is that all religions are equal and the religion of citizens has no bearing in socio-economic matters. Secularism forms the basic feature of the Indian Constitution according to the Supreme Court of India. There is a need to implement a Uniform Civil Code in order to bring about the national integrity of people belonging to different religious groups. The concept of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) i.e., one law for the entire territory of India in matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption is provided under Article 44 of the Constitution. There is a need to develop a favourable environment and gather socio-political consensus in order to implement the common Code.

Evidence (2019-01-25): Evidence exists to support the view that secularism offers a way of increasing human rights and freedoms. For instance, research conducted by Kettell (2014) has found that countries with a state religion possess substantially lower levels of political rights and civil liberties than countries that do not possess a state religion. Political rights (such as free and fair elections, nondiscriminatory voter registration, and transparency of vote counting) were 27% worse in countries with a state religion, and civil liberties (including freedom of expression, belief, and association) were 37% lower. At the same time, countries with a state religion were found to have far higher (146%) levels of government regulation of religion (which is perhaps unsurprising, given that regulating religion is one of the reasons for having a state religion in the first instance), but also to have much higher (41%) levels of social regulation of religion (defined as the extent to which society itself seeks to impose restrictions or conformity of religious beliefs and practices), and 68% higher levels of religious persecution than countries without a state religion.

Evidence (2017-01-10): Secularism, State Neutrality, and Islam [...] Verma, Vidhu, 'Secularism in India', in Phil Zuckerman, and John R. Shook (eds), The Oxford Handbook of Secularism, Oxford Handbooks (2017; online edn, Oxford Academic, 10 Jan. 2017), https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199988457.013.14, accessed 9 Oct. 2024. This chapter examines the historical emergence of secularism through movements, debates, and legal formulations to explain specific features that the concept has acquired in the context of India. The first part examines the tensions between the theoretical narratives of Indian constitutionalism and the practices of politics that led to the acceptance of certain essential conditions of secularism. The approach towards secularism found in writings of Nehru, Gandhi and Ambedkar are then discussed. The third part focuses on the ill-defined meaning of secularism that does not accurately reflect the conceptual shifts made by the modern legal system. The final section critically examines the claim that secularism is a state-led exercise in certain domains. An overview of the legal literature shows that secularism is also the domain of experts, bureaucrats, and professionals. The history of court decisions about what constitutes a religious practice that is protected by law reveals considerable variation and arbitrariness..

Evidence (2021-11-11): An audio file is circulating on WhatsApp in the name of United Kingdom-based steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal. India-born Mittal is Chairman of ArcelorMittal, world’s largest integrated steel and mining company. The speaker in the audio file can be heard airing his views on topics like PM Modi, secularism, Hindu identity of India, and Ram Janambhumi. The file has been circulated with the message – "This speech was given by Mr Laxmi Mittal (second biggest steel manufacturer of India.)" [...] There are a number of clues in the clip that give away the fact that Lakshmi Mittal, Chairman of the ArcelorMittal group, is not making these statements. To begin with, the voice and the accent in the audio do not match with the available samples of Lakshmi Mittal’s voice. There are other clues that point out that the speaker is not Lakshmi Mittal. [...] An audio file is circulating online claiming to be remarks on Indian politics and religion by our Chairman and CEO. We do not know who the speaker is, but it is not Mr Lakshmi Mittal.

Evidence (2015-09-30): According to Anna Bigelow, Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at North Carolina State University, the conception of secularism articulates the place of diversity within Indian polity and helps in understanding what Indian secularism means spiritually and practically. On March 12, Bigelow spoke on "Sufi Shrines and the Secular State," a SAI Muslim Societies in South Asia seminar co-sponsored by the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Islamic Studies Program at Harvard. The seminar was chaired by Ali Asani, Professor of Indo-Muslim and Islamic Religion and Cultures, Faculty of Arts and Sciences and Director, Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Islamic Studies Program. [...] Bigelow contended that the multiple meanings of secularism in today’s India result from the abstract nature of the debates on secularism at the time of India’s independence. In her opinion, it is "individuals and collectives that shape secularism as inclusive or exclusive."

Evidence (2018-11-01): Sarva Dharma Sambava, is the Indian version of secularism. In the Indian context, Thomas (1991) asserts that the concept of secularism as a political philosophy emerged in the national independence movement. Further, the conceptual understanding of secular State in Indian context comprises two tenets: firstly, the fundamental civil right of religious liberty, while safeguarding religious and cultural pluralism; and secondly, emphasis on the modern democratic ideals of freedom, equality and justice. Notwithstanding this, it should be also be remembered that secularism in India does not look at religious communities as static; but rather as active and dynamic and therefore the Indian secular State withheld with it the right to intervene, on certain grounds, in order to safeguard the democratic ideals. Clearly, this is unlike the USA’s concept of Secular State (the Wall of Separation) as a complete non-interventionist. Whereas, the concept of Indian secularism envisages a measure of secularisation of Indian society for the sake of forming a national community on common social ideals. In other words, it is the non-discriminatory rejection of all religions. However, this attitude becomes impractical in a nation like ours where religion plays such an important role in almost everybody’s life. The Indian conception of secularism only requires that there shall be no state religion and that the state shall treat all religions equally (Shah, 1968). In this context, as the state allows special intervention, it significantly differs from countries like USA and their understanding of secularism.

Evidence (2023-06-12): An audio clip purportedly featuring the voice of Indian industrialist Lakshmi Mittal speaking against the idea of secularism in India and endorsing the concept of a state religion is being widely shared on social media. Let’s verify the authenticity of the claim. [...] Upon investigation, we discovered that the audio clip has been circulating on social media since 2019. We extensively searched for news reports from that period to determine whether Lakshmi Mittal made any statements aligning with the ideas expressed in the audio clip, whether in off-the-record conversations or interviews. However, we could not find any such evidence or reports supporting the claims made in the audio clip. [...] To sum it up, the audio being shared is not of Lakshmi Mittal. It is falsely attributed to him, presenting him as speaking against the idea of secularism in India and supporting the concept of a state religion.

Evidence (2024-10-01): The idea that the state should actively and in a planned and 'rational' and 'modern' manner promote development originated abroad. Inspiration came to some extent from the Soviet Russian planned economic development, and for some, including Nehru, from the—at that time still a bit remote—concept of the West European and largely social-democrat idea of the 'Welfare' state.

Evidence (2021-11-15): 2 Meaning of Secularism in India: the Evolution and Form of the Doctrine of ‘Essential Practices’ in India [...] Ofrit Liviatan, in his understanding of secularism in India, offers an interesting contradictory dualism between state neutrality and state intervention. While it protects religious freedoms (recognized as an individual and a collective right), it also interferes to do away with religious practices that are traditional but do not help in propelling social change.55 He points out that the Indian judiciary has not shied away from introducing "innovative judicial constructions",56 despite them attracting results because of the concomitant contradictions and conflicts. This "self-described "visionary" doctrine" thus separates ‘essential’ from ‘non-essential’, with state intervention in the form of regulation being introduced only in the latter case.57
