Supreme Court of India Reaffirms Secularism in Indian Constitution

• The Supreme Court of India reaffirmed secularism as a fundamental principle in the Constitution of India.

• The need for periodic reminders of this principle arose from a petition claiming that Banu Mushtaq’s participation in the Mysuru Dasara festival violated Articles 25 and 26 of the Constitution.

• The court dismissed the petition, stating that the Dasara festival is a State event, not a private religious ceremony.

• The court emphasized that the State cannot discriminate based on religion when organizing public events.

• The court argued that restricting participation in public gatherings based on religion is indefensible in a pluralistic society.

• The court highlighted the legal and ethical debates surrounding religious practices in places of worship.

• The court highlighted the acceptance of shared cultural heritage among Indian political parties, but warned against exploiting this harmony to create communal rifts.

Supreme Court India Secularism is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
