Freedom of religion in India : ウィキペディア英語版 | Freedom of religion in India Freedom of religion in India is a fundamental right guaranteed by Article 15 and Article 25 of the Constitution of India.〔article 15 of India Constitution〕 Modern India came into existence in 1947 and the Indian constitution's preamble was amended in 1976 to state that India is a secular state. Every citizen of India has a right to practice and promote their religion peacefully. However, there have been a number of incidents of religious intolerance that resulted in riots and violence, notably, the 1984 Anti-Sikh riots in Delhi, 2002 Anti-Muslim riots and the 2008 Anti-Christian riots. The perpetrators of the violence are rarely brought to justice despite widespread condemnation.〔 * (【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Human Rights Watch )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=India: No Justice for 1984 Anti-Sikh Bloodshed )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thousands call for justice for victims of 1984 Sikh massacres - Amnesty International India )〕 India is one of the most diverse nations in terms of religion, it being the birthplace of four major world religions: Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism. Even though Hindus form close to 80 percent of the population, India also enjoys multiple regions with majority populations of other religions: notably, Jammu and Kashmir with Muslim majority, Punjab with Sikh majority, and Nagaland with Christian majority. The country has large Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Jain and Zoroastrian populations. Islam is the largest minority religion in India, and the Indian Muslims form the third largest Muslim population in the world, accounting for over 14 percent of the nation's population. Rajni Kothari, founder of the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies has written, "India is a country built on the foundations of a civilisation that is fundamentally non-religious." ==History==
