Authors
Dr. Nitin
Abstract
The integral yoga of Law and Religion is the genius of Indian culture which blends in Dharma, the finer components of legality and spiritual values. From ancient times, Law and Religion have interacted, jointly operated and at times, mutually fought to overpower each other. The basic law in India is the Constitution and we must look into the Indian Constitution to understand the modus Vivendi between Law and Religion in India. The preamble of the Constitution describes India Republic inter alia as Secular. The Equality of all religions is expressly recognized by Article 25-28, thereby, emphasizing the cherished ideal of Secularism. The Right to Freedom of Religion includes Right to convert from one Religion to another religion. Religious conversion has become the subject of passionate debate in the contemporary India. Conversion from one religion to another has far reaching consequences, social and legal. It affects succession, marital status and also the right to seek elective office. The present paper seeks to evaluate the efforts to achieve these perceived goals – of effectuating changes and managing conflicts of Right to Freedom of Religion and Religious Conversion through the Constitutional, Legal and Judicial process.
