Indian society after independence was left with so many religions and their followers. These with time grew and developed and our constitutional provisions and goals also supported the existence of them all. It is interesting to evaluate religion as a social structure in which faith, worship, rituals, customs and practices are normal. This system of multiple religions existence crates or disturbs the social peace and harmony, but we adopt the thoughts of secularism through our constitution which is an aid against all these. It is a peculiar fact that the term religion was intentionally not given a definition by the makers of the Constitution, so it is the judiciary which is highly indebted with all duty bound to interpret all constitutional provision in a sensible manner.
