Explanation: R Jagannathan, Editorial Director, Swarajya said, between God and government, there should not be any nexus. There should not be any interference except if there is a human rights violation. Indian State does not say we will not interfere in religion. It says we are equidistant from all religions, he said adding that the temples under the control of the State should be freed.
“It is not just about State leaving religion alone. Religion should leave the State alone. In diverse society some people believe in one God, some in many Gods, some in no God. All should have equal opportunity to influence ethical aspects of the State,” he added.
Bhargava said that in the Western European model, there is no strict separation. “There was a time when there was great hostility, when the State was emancipating itself from the Church. Over a period of time, the State has had a friendly relationship with the church. “In India, constitution celebrates religious diversity. But we should be alert to intra and inter-religious domination,” he cautioned.
