Explain the Right to Freedom of Religion.

India is a secular state. It observes an attitude of neutrality and impartiality towards all religions. Although the right to freedom of religion has been included under the right to freedom but the Constitution makers were very particular about it. So they have mentioned it separately as well. The Right to Freedom of Religion includes the following rights:
(i) Every person has a right to profess, practice and propagate the religion he or she believes in.
(ii) Every religious group or sect is free to manage its religious affairs.
There are, however, following restrictions on this right:
(i) No person has right to compel another person to convert into his religion by means of force, fraud, inducement or allurement.
(ii) One cannot sacrifice animals or human beings as offerings to supernatural forces or gods.
(iii) Religious practices which treat women as inferior or those that infringe women’s freedom are not allowed. For example, a widowed woman cannot be forced to shave head or wear white clothes.
(iv) The government cannot compel any person to pay any taxes for promotion or maintenance of any particular religion or religious institution.
(v) There shall be no religious instruction in the government educational institutions. In educational institutions managed by private bodies no person shall be compelled to take part in any religious instruction or to attend any religious worship.
