Question

Give two examples when the state has to intervene in the religion-based personal laws of communities.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Indian secularism works to prevent the domination through a strategy of intervention.

(i)In order to prevent the religion-based exclusion and discrimination of ‘lower castes’, the Indian Constitution has banned untouchability.

(ii)The State is intervening in religion in order to end a social practice that it believes discriminates and excludes, and that violates the Fundamental Rights of ‘lower castes’ who are citizens of this country.

(iii)Similarly, to ensure that laws relating to equal inheritance rights are respected, the State may have to intervene in the religion-based ‘personal laws’ of communities.

(iv)The intervention of the State can also be in the form of support. The Indian Constitution grants the right to religious communities to set up their own schools and colleges. It also gives them financial aid on a nonpreferential basis
