Abstract

Religion in India has always been a topic very sensitive to deal with but religious crimes have never stopped increasing in any way rather keep on spreading their forms and unreasonable biases over the nation. Minorities have always been targeted, and the situation is similar throughout the world. Hindus outside face Hindu-phobia, the minorities in our Nation face what we call as hate crimes. While the whole world stays in abeyance due to wars and epidemics, India is struggling internally with issues that are predominantly created by misconceptions of dharma, religion, justice and the like. This seems like no big deal, but these do lay the foundation stones to understand bigger concepts of Secularism, Uniform Civil Code and certainly to combat the hate crimes that are spreading like fire in dry in the namesake of upholding religious sanctity and what not. This short article thus attempts to converse the concepts in a clear manner before moving on to the concepts in Constitution. The paper also subtly addresses the issues at hand both in practical and visionary approach and urges the start of something new.
