Explanation:

Explanation:
1: There is no official religion for the Indian state. Unlike the status of Buddhism in Sri Lanka or that of Islam in Pakistan ,our Constitution does not give a special status to any religion.
2: The Constitution provides to all individuals and communities freedom to profess, practice and propagate any religion, or not to follow any. The Constitution also prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion.
3. At the same time, the Constitution allows the state to intervene in the matters of religion in order to ensure equality within religious communities. For example, it bans untouchability (a practice within the Hindu Varna system).
Hence all the statements are correct.
