Fundamental Rights – Right to Freedom of Religion

Fundamental Rights – Right to Freedom of Religion

Religion is a matter of personal beliefs and values. And that is why choosing a religion is considered as a fundamental right in India under the act, right to freedom of religion. If anyone believes in any particular religion than it does not affect anyone particularly. Thus, there are many constitutions in the world that give you the right to the freedom of religion. 

Right to Freedom of Religion

The laws of these countries are also made up in such a way that you can exercise the religion of your choice. In India, under the articles from 25 to 28 each and every individual has a right to freedom of religion. He/she can practice their own religion without troubling others.
Right to Freedom of Religion
Fundamental Rights – Right to Freedom of Religion
As described earlier, this right is given to the citizens under the articles 25-28 of part 3 of the Indian constitution. So, this right given to everyone has explained by the Supreme Court of India. Also, it says being secular is neither pro-God or anti-God, it is irrespective of the atheist, the antagonistic, and the devout.
Thus, this right eliminates God from matters of a state and makes sure that no one is discriminated based on their religion and caste.
There have been different cultures practiced in India, for many years. India has been home to many religions and caste. Many people have come here and practiced and nurtured their own religion.
Thus, the freedom of right to religion holds greater importance in a country like India. Also, this right is very important and there are certain restrictions on it. This includes
  • Health, morality, or public order.
  • Social reform.

Fundamental Concept

Dr. Ambedkar has said that in India the concept of religion is very wide. Also, there are numerous aspects that are covered from birth to the death of a person. So, if a state starts accepting this concept of religion in India that it will not be poss6 for social reform in India.

The highest court in India outlawed this practice. Also, you have to note that in article 27 of the Indian constitution, it states that no person will be compelled to pay the taxes. So, under this, the proceeds which are especially appropriate for the payments of promotion or maintenance of the religious activities are included.
