Sachin,
I think most likely for political reasons. But I
submit that no one can deny that India was constituted
in 1950 to be a secular republic. I have already told
you why. Please ask someone else to explain to you why
it is a socialist republic. I don't have much interest
in that topic.
Cheers,
Santosh
