It means that Indian State has no religion of its own. But it allows full freedom to all the citizens to have faith in any religion and to worship, the way they like. But this should not interfere with the religious beliefs and ways of worship of other fellow beings. This freedom is available to the foreigners as well.

 Assam Accord (1985)

The Assam Accord was a Memorandum of Settlement signed between representatives of the Government of India and the leaders of the Assam Movement in New Delhi on 15 August 1985, the presence of the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, which ended the Assam Agitation.

A Six year agitation started in 1979, led by the All Assam Students’ Union (AASU), the protestors demanded the identification and deportation of all illegal foreigners – predominantly Bangladeshi immigrants. They feared the past and continuing large scale migration was overwhelming the native population, impacting their political rights, culture, language and land rights. The Assam Movement caused the estimated death of over 855 people. The movement ended with the signing of the Assam Accord.

The leaders of the Assam Movement agreed to accept all migrants who had entered into Assam prior to January 1 1966. The Government of India acknowledged the political, social, cultural and economic concerns of the Assamese people and agreed to revise the electoral database. Further, the government agreed to identify and deport any and all refugees and migrants after March 25 1971.

The Government also agreed to open an oil refinery, reopen paper mills and establish educational institutions in the state.

The accord brought an end to the Assam Movement and paved the way for the leaders of the agitation to form a political party and form a government in the state of Assam soon after. Though the accord brought an end to the agitation, some of the key clauses are yet to be implemented, which kept some of the issues festering. The task of identifying foreigners became politically difficult, affected vote banks, and attracted accusations of religious or ethnic discrimination.

In 1997, the state government completed a study and marked numerous names in its voter list with “d” meaning “disputed citizenship”, with plans to block them from voting. The High Court of the state ascertained that the “d” is based on suspicion, not documentary evidence.
