ABSTRACT

India is a secular state with constitutional provisions for religious rights. Article 25 accommodates the opportunity of conscience and the option to uninhibitedly profess practice and spread religion. Article 19 further safeguards the right to speak freely of discourse, articulation, and affiliation. Article 51 forces a positive obligation on residents to advance harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood transcending religious boundaries. This research paper inspects every religious gathering; the religiously endorsed rank framework is related fundamentally to Hinduism. India's Christian population is majorly from the Dalits and 'lower' castes. This study connects with change that produces and encourages a fracture in the general public and leads a steady society into a broken society. It upsets the social design and prompts a conflict in society. Transformations excite hatred and irateness and help to the blazes of mutual craze and enthusiasm creating Law and Order issues. India received or got foisted with, religious traditions from the West, notably Christianity - in the first century AD - and Islam - in the eighth century AD. How do scholars explain this importation of foreign religion? Some argue that 'religion' is an anachronistic term to use in the study of India, as Indian languages generally lack a word for 'religion', with the nearest term, dharma, meaning 'way of life' rather than 'religion'. When these religions came and bloomed in a land whose culture(dharma) predates the birth of these religions by thousands of years, within a span of a few hundred years it was definitely not a smooth adaptation or self-motivated one for all people in this ancient land. This research paper aims to look at both aspects of the laws, the governments aiming to preserve the ancient culture which is in minority on the global stage, and also the people’s constitutional right and its protection.
