Secularism
Secular governance treating all faiths and non-believers equally.
Secularism in Tamil tradition does not mean indifference; it means equidistance. The state engages with every faith on equal procedural terms and treats non-belief as an equally valid civic position.
Religious endowments and Wakf boards are professionalised — audited annually, operated under transparent appointment rules, with grievance mechanisms accessible to ordinary worshippers.
Hate speech, communal mobilisation, and forced conversion are addressed through equal application of existing law, not as selective enforcement.
