Indian Constitution is the largest in the world incoporating general human rights, minority rights, provides protection to tribals and weaker sections. India has moved on the constitution has been subject to loads of changes in the form of amendments. The Delhi High Court judgement on legitimising gay sex was unexpected for the puritains and a welcome to the crusaders of liberty, there was a lot of euphoria over this judgement and there were notions of this entire provision of law being struck down but it was not so only consensual sex between two adult gay men is permissible and its has been decriminalised. Politicians are washing their hands off development and governance by trying to police television reality shows like "sach ka samma" in a democracy like ours is unbecoming of such parliamentarians, its an innocuous serial having passed the litmus test of being viewable and airable on account of the response to it, politicians can't impose a blanket ban unless there is consensus and public repulse or loathe. An individual Information & Broadcasting minister isn't the respository of public morality to impose unilateral ban.
Religious festivals in India are perhaps the most ostentatious and celebrated with utmost grandeur however taking recourse to freedom to practise ones religion one must not forget reasonable restrictions in view of public order and morality. playing religious songs beyond permissible decibles during festivals is public nuisance, not taking proper precautions while bursting crackers is hazardous to life and limb but people are so overwhelmed with religious fervour they cease to take due care a prudent man would take.During holy hurling ballons at nonsuspecting total strangers is unwarranted, using color detrimental to skin should be avoided.religious freedom without social responsibility and disregard for public safety is something not within the parameters of sanctionable behaviour and conduct.
Religious heads and the clergy have an opinion on anything and everything that happens in civil society governed by rule of law however all their opnions are not bogus and bereft of rationalism however their opnions make an impact owing to the fact religion having a tremendous influence over masses at large but in a secular polity like ours dogmatic and orthodox propaganda by the religious clergy can't take precedence over constitutional cannons. The Indian Constitution has been framed in a manner to accommodate all sections of mankind and if any provision violates religious freedom, traditional beliefs they can be challenged in the form of writ petitions. By the grace of providence thus far no provision of the constitution is antithetical to any scripture of any religion existing in India so religious heads must respect the constitution and abide by it in letter and spirit rather than making a hue and cry about infinitesimal issues which merit no attention.
Freedom and liberty can be truly cherished and realised when an environment of the sort is created where the freedom to movement of one man's hand ends where tip of the nose of another man begins. liberty can be safeguard to the extent it doesn't lead people astray into taking to pursuits and vices self-destructive also counter productive to ones consciousness.
