Right to Freedom of Religion
धर्म की स्वतंत्रता का अधिकार
In this Class 9 Civics topic from the chapter Democratic Rights, students learn how the Indian Constitution protects freedom of conscience and the right to profess, practise and propagate religion. They examine why this freedom is essential in a diverse, secular democracy, how it supports equality and individual dignity, and why it is subject to reasonable limits such as public order, morality and health. The topic also explains safeguards against religious discrimination and the constitutional separation of religion from state authority.
