The author discusses India’s laws on religion and religious freedom. After offering a deep look at the religion-state relations in India, he introduces its experiences in respect to the impact of religion on society’s development and stability. In conclusion, he notes that protecting secularism without unnecessarily curtailing the essential religious freedom of individuals and groups in the society is a duty that the judiciary and the other organs of the State have to play in all the professed democratic societies subscribing to the theory of internationally recognized human rights.
