In the Constitution of India, articles 25 to 28 are put under the heading ‘Right to Freedom of Religion’ and these articles grant different rights to the citizens of India, regarding freedom of religion. Article 25 deals with the freedom of conscience, the right to freely profess, practice and propagate religion. Article 26 and 27 aren’t problematic either. The problem arises when we come to Article 28.
To understand the problems with Article 28, one needs to take a look in detail at its provisions.
Article 28(1) states, “No religious instruction shall be provided in any educational institution wholly maintained out of State funds.” Well, a big round of applause for this. However, there are many ifs and buts to it. Article 28(2) states, “Nothing in clause (1) shall apply to an educational institution which is administered by the State but has been established under any endowment or trust which requires that religious instruction shall be imparted in such institution.”.However, Article 28(3) states, “No person attending any educational institution recognised by the State or receiving aid out of State funds shall be required to take part in any religious instruction that may be imparted in such institution or to attend any religious worship that may be conducted in such institution or in any premises attached thereto unless such person or, if such person is a minor, his guardian has given his consent thereto.”
