Key Points

  • The Indian Constitution allows individuals the freedom to live by their religious beliefs and practices as they interpret these.
    • Secularism refers to this separation of religion from the State. Hence, Statement 1 is correct.
  • But, the separation is not strict. The state does interfere in religious activity on grounds of public interest, morality, justice, etc.
    • For e.g. the Indian government has a nominee on several religious shrine management boards. Hence, Statement 2 is NOT correct.
  • Freedom of individuals to exit from their religion, embrace another religion, or have the freedom to interpret religious teachings differently must also be protected.
    • This lies at the core of Indian secularism. Hence, Statement 3 is correct.
  • Article 25 of the Indian constitution gave the freedom of conscience and free profession, practice, and propagation of religion.
  • Clause (1) of Article 25  says that subject to public order, morality, and health and to the other provisions of this Part, all persons are equally entitled to freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practice, and propagate religion. Hence, Statement 4 is correct.
