Freedom of Conscience and Constitution Edition 2021

Freedom of Conscience and Constitution, Edition 2021 is a specialized constitutional law work that critically examines the scope, limitations, and evolution of freedom of conscience and religion in India. Anchored in Articles 25 to 28 of the Constitution, the book explores the philosophical foundations and legal dimensions of religious freedom within a secular constitutional framework. The author analyses significant Supreme Court and High Court judgments that have shaped the interpretation of freedom of belief, religious practice, and State intervention. Key themes include secularism, essential religious practices, public order and morality, and the tension between individual rights and collective interests. By combining doctrinal analysis with judicial reasoning, the book provides clarity on one of the most debated areas of Indian constitutional law. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding how constitutional guarantees of conscience operate in a pluralistic society. This work is particularly relevant for constitutional litigation, academic research, and rights-based legal discourse.
