The Supreme Court said on Wednesday that Hindu religion is a way of life. To remain a Hindu, it is not necessary to go to the temple or perform special puja. The court said that even lighting a lamp at home is enough to show faith.
This comment was made by the Constitution Bench of 9 judges headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant. The bench is hearing cases related to discrimination against women at religious places, Sabarimala temple and religious freedom cases related to the Dawoodi Bohra community. This is the 15th day of hearing on Wednesday.
The bench comprises Justices BV Nagarathna, MM Sundresh, Ahsanuddin Amanullah, Arvind Kumar, Augustine George Masih, Prasanna B Varale, R Mahadevan and Joymalya Bagchi.
7 questions which are being debated…
individual is free to believe
During the hearing, senior advocate Dr. G. Mohan Gopal, appearing for the intervenor, said that the demand for social justice is being raised from within the religious communities themselves. Referring to the 1966 decision, he said that at that time a Hindu was considered to be one who considers the Vedas supreme.
He said, none of us said that every Hindu considers the Vedas supreme. I respect the Vedas, but does every Hindu believe so today?
On this, Justice BV Nagarathna said, “That is why Hinduism is called a way of life. It is not necessary to go to the temple or perform any ritual to remain a Hindu.”
He said that a person is free to believe in his faith and no one should hinder it.
