THE SAMARTH CHAKRAWARTI BLOG

S ince 2012, the petition filed by Swami Dayanand Saraswati is drooping in the supreme court and the court hasn't had the time to look at it. But it seems that it has had all the time in the world to take cases like Tripple talaq. As a result, in Tamilnadu, more than 30000 temples are in a state of suspension and the devotees are waiting for justice.  But why is this issue important?   Read the first part here..

Firstly, the meddling of government with religious institutions leads to corruption.  2 . India is a secular country which implies the state is equally distinct from all religion.

  Hello everyone,  In my last blog, I started my blog by quoting a line as per the Supreme court of India, which was, " Noting that historical wrongs cannot be remedied by the people taking the law into their own hands, the Supreme Court underscored the ambit of the Places of Worship Act, 1991."  What does this line mean? It simply means that any kind of false activity done in history can not be restored by the citizens by the means of violence, which implies that the constitution of my country should equip me with enough power so that if I face or I feel that any kind of injustice is being done to me, it can be corrected by reaching the doors of court. But what if my constitution prohibits me from doing so? In the last blog I have explained the Place of Worship(Special Provisions) Act, 1991, and what does it say. In this blog, I will go ahead and try to explain to you, how this Provision snatches our fundamental rights. Let's get started, When this law was brought into ...

  Hello everyone,  In this blog, we will be talking about "how the amendment of secularism destroyed the essence of democracy". In the previous blogs, we discussed secularism, its origin, the introduction of secularism in India and much more. Before reading this blog i suggest you to read them first. Let's GET STARTED, We all know that India is a democratic and secular country. Any amendment which is made in our constitution should be done in a democratic way or otherwise Constitution of India gives right to every individual of India to challenge that decision in the court. But when the amendment of secularism was made, none of the democratic procedures was followed. 1. The opposition of India was in jail under the MISA Act. 2. Media was censored or in simple words, their right to publish anything without government intervention was blocked. 3. Even the cabinet of Indira Gandhi was not consulted. 4. Courts were silent across the nation. Do you think of this as a democra...

The Constitution of India was not a secular constitution by birth, it was later when Mrs Indira Gandhi suspiciously made the constitution secular. Do you think that the great minds of B. R. Ambedkar, Sardar Patel, Mohan das Karamchand Gandhi made a mistake of leaving the constitution nonsecular or there was something important which they had in their minds which stopped them from making this change? Let's Find out - Being secular does not mean that you have to dump your spiritual values and just think of society above spirituality. But being secular means that at the time of decision making, government or any govt. the body should not prioritize one religion over the others. But unfortunately in our country secularism was inserted into our constitution without even defining it.  The term was then propagated and used in a very wrong way just to keep one community happy and to fulfil the political agendas. In fact, for some, secularism means that the "majority should not speak u...
