The secular character of the Indian state appears in provisions that keep the state neutral among religions and bar religion-based discrimination.
Article 25 guarantees freedom of conscience and the free profession, practice and propagation of religion — a secular provision.
Article 16 guarantees equality of opportunity in public employment and forbids discrimination on grounds of religion, among others — also a secular provision.
Article 28 forbids religious instruction in educational institutions wholly maintained by the state — clearly secular.
Article 17 abolishes untouchability and makes its practice an offence; it is a social-equality provision and does not deal with the state's relation to religion, so it alone does not reveal secularism.
(iv) only option is correct.
