NCERT Class 11 Political Science Chapter 8 Secularism Test Mock Test
This free online test covers Chapter 8, Secularism, from the NCERT Class 11 Political Theory textbook. The 30 questions are written directly from the chapter — definitions, processes, worked examples and the points the book italicises — so a score here tells you how much of the chapter actually stuck, not how well you guess. Each answer carries an explanation that says why the right option is right and why the other three fail, which is where most of the learning happens. Attempt it after your first read of the chapter, then again before the exam. There is no negative marking, and you can review the full solution the moment you submit.

Sample Questions
Q1.The massacre of Sikhs in 1984, the forced departure of Hindu Kashmiri pandits from the valley and the post-Godhra riots in Gujarat in 2002 are cited in the chapter as examples of:
- AThe absence of any culture of inter-religious tolerance in Indian history
- BIntra-religious domination, in which a conservative faction suppresses dissent within a religion
- CThe failure of the Constitution to guarantee freedom and dignity to citizens
- DInter-religious domination, in which members of one community are targeted and victimised on account of their religious identity
Q2.Why does the chapter reject the view that religion will disappear once everyone's basic needs are met?
- ABecause religion is protected by the Constitution and therefore cannot disappear

- DBecause secularism is opposed to the disappearance of any organised religion
Q3.Which of these does the chapter give as examples of intra-religious domination?
- AThe exclusion of Arab minorities from benefits available to Jewish citizens in Israel
- BThe forced migration of Kashmiri pandits from the valley
