Authors
Hitesh Beniwal
Abstract

This manuscript has been written to draw the reader’s attention firstly towards the legally ratified meaning of secularism in Bharat and then to its implementation to different scenarios and walks of life by the Legislature as well as the Judiciary of the day. There have been certain decisions of far reaching implications, made by the aforementioned organs of the State intervening/interfering with personal laws, religious practices, customs etc. in the name of secularism and sailing over the tides of time. The questions that loom large are about the depths of religious understanding of law makers and judges with respect to the issues at hand, issue of being awed by western culture in the name of change and modernity, and the correctness of the scales of modernity and development in contrast to the 8000 years old Indian civilization and the values cherished in it till date. However, at the end of the day, it shall be the common citizen of Bharat who will have to live with the short end of the stick. The author has tried and summarised the said issues along with relevant case laws, statutes accompanied by his own humble sense of law and religion, in the shining light of the Constitution of Bharat.
