@metta..... Vedic Period is a controversial matter. But, tentatively scholars believe that:

Rig Vedic Age : 7000 - 4000 BC
End of Rig Vedic Age : 3750 BC
End of Ramayana-Mahabharata period: 3000 BC
Development of Saraswati-Indus Civilization: 3000 - 2200 BC
Decline of Saraswati-Indus CIvilization: 2200 - 1900 BC
Period of Chaos and Migration: 2000 - 1500 BC
Period of evolution of syncretic Hindu Culture: 1400 - 250 BC
(Source: Penn State University; Scholar: Professor Dinesh Agrawal)

I do not believe that there were no conflicts in the past. As you can see above, there is a period of Chaos and Migration around 2000 - 1500 BC. Who knows what happened?

Will all religions be protected if a nation is secular or explicitly Vedic Sanatan Dharma?
--> Consciousness is the key here. This all depends on what the laws are and how fair are the laws. Fairness of laws depends on total knowledge. Are officer enforcing those laws? Do government understand what existence is, why people are here in this planet? So, knowledge is the key. And there are two kinds of knowledge. One is called the Apara Vidya, and the other is called Para Vidya. Apara Vidya deals with objective world and Para Vidya deals with transcendental knowledge which cannot be grasp by senses. Can government integrate these two knowledge? If yes, then that society will have peace, harmony, and prosperity.
