India, a nation characterized by its vast population, embodies a rich tapestry of diverse religious beliefs within its society. The majority of its populace adheres to Hinduism, while minority groups include Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, and others. Notably, four major religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism—trace their origins to India. Throughout history, religion has wielded significant influence across India's social, economic, and political landscapes, shaping its trajectory. Despite the constitutional declaration of India as a secular state, the translation of this ideal into societal practice has encountered challenges. Religion has consistently played a prominent role in Indian politics, often leading to tensions and communal unrest. Mahatma Gandhi, in 1942, advocated for the separation of religion from politics, emphasizing its personal nature. However, the entwinement of religion and politics remains pervasive in India, evident even in its partition based on religious lines. Nonetheless, India's constitution upholds the principles of equality and non-discrimination, reflecting the nation's commitment to ensuring equal rights for all its citizens, irrespective of religious affiliations.
