Answer 1

Answer:

A. 25-28

• Article 25 (Freedom of conscience and free profession, practice, and propagation of religion)

  Article 25 guarantees the freedom of conscience, the freedom to profess, practice, and propagate religion to all citizens.

  • The above-mentioned freedoms are subject to public order, health, and morality.
  • This article also gives a provision that the State can make laws:
    • That regulates and restricts any financial, economic, political, or other secular activity associated with any religious practice.
    • That provides for the social welfare and reform or opening up of Hindu religious institutions of a public character to all sections and classes of Hindus. Under this provision, Hindus are construed as including the people professing the Sikh, Jain, or Buddhist religions, and Hindu institutions shall also be construed accordingly.
