Explanation:

Features of Western concept of secularism:- The state cannot aid any religious institutions. State cannot hinder the activities of religious communities as long as they are within the broad limits setup by the law of the land.This is a negative concept.
Indian model of Secularism:-“Equal protection by the state to all religion“. He wanted a secular state to be one that “protects all religions but does not favour one at the expense of others and does not itself adopt any religion as the state religion.” (Positive Notion).
