               MIND MAP -1


               FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT                            Right to Freedom of Religion

                   1.  Freedom to live by their religious beliefs
                   2.  Practice and interpret these religious beliefs.



                                                                      Secularism



               Power of Religion                                                                      Power of State

                                                                    Separation







                                                                      Reasons

                   1.  Religious majority will ill -treat the religious minority
                   2.  There will be discrimination coercion and even killing of religious minorities
                   3.  This will result in violation of Fundamental Right
                   4.  In democratic societies there is freedom to exit from one religion and embrace
                       another.
                       E.g.  The Caste system
                       The Brahmins ill-treating the Dalits
