India is a Sovereign, Socialist, Secular Democratic

Republic country governed by the Constitution of

India also known as the Bhartiya Samvidhan put
together by the Constituent Assembly. The
Constitution of India was adopted on 26th November
1949 which officially came into effect from 26th January
1950. It is the longest Constitution ever to be written by
any country in the world and is influenced by other
constitutions of other countries like the French
Constitution, the Constitution of Japan, etc. today we
are going to look at one of the fundamental rights
of the Indian constitution the “right to freedom of
religion”. the Article 25 which states the freedom
of religion gives every person the right to freedom
of conscience and the right to freely profess,
practice, and propagate religion subject to public
order, morality, and health. Article 26 also gives all
denominations the right to manage their own
affairs in matters of religion. the objective of this
right is to sustain the principle of secularism in the
country thus, it means that the State shall not give
preference to one religion over others. The right to
freedom of religion also includes the freedom to
change one’s religion or beliefs. in a country
with a state religion, freedom of religion is
generally considered to mean that the
government permits religious practices of
other sections besides the state religion, and
does not persecute believers in other faiths. This
religious liberty is a principle that supports the
freedom of an individual or community, in public or
private, to manifest religion or belief in teaching,
practice, worship, observance and is considered
by many people and most nations to be an
unfailing important fundamental human right.
