Sabarimala Verdict- A Constitutional Revolution

Author(s) Parul Kumari
Country India
Abstract India is a secular state, as enshrined in the Constitution of India. The preamble emphasizes the ideals of justice, liberty, equity and fraternity ensuring the state remains neutral in matters of religion. The very concept of secularism is based on the fact that the state will have no religion but it does not mean that it is
an irreligious or atheistic state. Nor is it an anti-religious state. It merely explains that the state has no religion of its own. However, it respects all religions and the constitution guarantees freedom of religion to all citizens fostering a diverse inclusive society. This paper deals revolves around The Sabarimala Temple case which revolves around the constitutional and cultural aspects of religious practices in India. The case sparked debates on the balances between religious freedom and gender equality. In 2018, the Supreme Court lifted the ban on the entry of women of menstruating age into the temple, challenging the tradition that restricted their access. While some hailed it as a progressive step, others argued for the preservation of cultural and religious practice. This abstract encapsulates the multifaceted dimensions of Sabarimala temple case, touching upon issues of constitutional rights, cultural sensitivity and ongoing dialogue between tradition and modernity.
