Description

Right to Freedom of Religion

Detailed in Articles 25 to 28, the Right to Freedom of Religion allows every citizen to profess, practice, and propagate their religion. This right is a cornerstone of India’s secular framework, ensuring that individuals are free to follow their religious beliefs without fear of persecution or state interference.

While the state must remain neutral in religious matters, reasonable restrictions are imposed to maintain public order, health, and morality. This delicate balance protects individual religious freedom while ensuring that communal harmony and social stability are preserved.
