Justices Vibha Kankanwadi and Vrushali V Joshi observed that people are now more sensitive about their religion and increasingly want to assert the superiority of their religion and God.
The Court emphasized that India is a democratic and secular country where everyone should respect others’ religions, caste and creeds. However, it also suggested refraining from reacting immediately to someone asserting the supremacy of their religion.
“We are constrained to observe that now-adays people have become more sensitive about their religions may be than before and everybody wants to impress as to how his religion/God is Supreme. We are staying in the democratic secular country, where everybody should respect the religion, caste, creed etc. of another. But at the same time, we would also say that if the person says that his religion is Supreme, then the other person may not immediately react. There are ways and means to react on such sensitive issues,” the Court stated.
