RELIGION AND THE NATION

My nation is my religion. Salutation to the nation is meant for
social co-ordination and solidarity amongst the citizens and
therefore it is regarded the greatest service of humanity. The
controversy triggered off over the telephonic recital going patriotic
on independence the my reading the callers with “Vande Mataram” being
objected with the title Masjid Mein Vande Mataram”, by Mr Idirisi has
hurt the sentiment of Indians. Any negative feeling is the feeling
against the nation . It will be called as the saddest day for our
hard one freedom. Those hundreds of patriots who sacrificed their
lives by daring to get themselves hanged by chanting the slogan “
Vande Mataram” is now triggered off controversy of fanatic psyche
“Vande Mataram is not a communal song ,but is a salutation to the
nation including to the sentiments of the great poet Iqbal, who wrote
“SAARE JAHAN SE ACHHA HINDUSTAN HAMARA”

Conscience is the inmost thought consciousness moral sense
scrupulousness ,conscientiousness It means the freedom to right or
belief. To profess means to affirm one’s faith in religion or God .
In Shirur Muth case (A.I.R 1954 S.C 282) the Hon’ble Supreme Court
said Religion is certainly a matter of faith with the individual or
communities and it is not necessarily theistic. The well-known
religion in India like Buddhism and Jainism do not believe in God or
in any in the religion or in any intelligent first course. A religion
undoubtedly has its basis in a system of belief or doctrines, which
are regarded by those who profess that religion as conducive the their
spiritual well-being.

In Bijoc Emmanuel vs state of Kerala (1986) 3 S.C.C p. 615 in which a
state compulsion on an individual perform a secular activity was
challenged to violate his religious conscience. The circular being
contra sacramental by participation in singing national anthem before
marching to the classes was under challenge. The Hon’ble Supreme
Court held that the circular has no force of law and any compulsion to
join in the singing despite genuine conscientious religion
objection would clearly contravene the rights guaranteed by article 19
(1) (a) and article 25 (1) of the constitution of India. Can we
survive without a nation? Whether the freedom of conscience is a
perceptible aspect or abstract phenomenon. The conscientious objection
may refuse to bear arms or an atheist may not be compelled to swell
in the name of God. The national anthem and the national flag was
dispensable in the face of religious objections. The Hon’ble Supreme
Court while observing the need of enforceable fundamental duty under
article 51 -- A (a) of the Constitution which provides for proper
respect to our national anthem. It was observed that the mere
executive or a departmental instruction cannot canton the dimension
of free conscience clause of our Constitution and therefore the
increased conscientiousness provides a constraint on the compulsory
vaccinations and inoculation particularly during gigantic mass of
congregation like Kumbha Mela and other religious fairs in our
country.



The end of religion is beginning of spirituality; the end of
spirituality is the beginning of reality and the end of reality is the
real bliss. Instead of worshipping the great master, the omnipotent,
ominous, omnipresent. We have started worshipping his servant and
rather the place of worship is now regarded above to the religion.
People are driven through such faulty guidance and having the
darkness in the self realisation. The goal of life is to achieve the
greatest possible efforts towards the serious consideration to the
problem of life. If we have no essence of vary life how we can
achieve the freedom from bondage, which may provide salvation. Thus
the religious sentiments are no where providing obstacles in the
process of salutation to our nation. Rather the religion is based on
the foundations of being a patriot first then to believe any dogma or
rituals under the garb of the religion.

The state affairs in India without having the enforceable fundamental
duties as we may resolved from a political situation having growing
tendency towards moral, religious and social degradation, is rather
deplorable. India does not hold any bright prospects with
interruptions and spirituality compassionate to the animals and to
protect the vegetation is the reciprocal obligation towards the God.
Thus the respect contributed towards civilisation of providing
solidarity and the integrity to the nation by salutation to our
country is the fundamental principle of the religion. The
consequences of the present drastic change in the mentality of the
individual on the -- is alienating responsible for mobocracy which may
lead to enormous blood shade all over the world as if the religion is
not based on spiritualism which ultimately ruin our civilisation

This universe is a system of change and formation of energy for our
living creative to an other. The energy which kinetic or magnetic or
electrical is the basis of life. The vapours arising out of such
energy is ultimately the source of our inspirations. The moments we
kill our fallow inhabitants, the energy involved into the different
formation, but it never extinguished, thus God is one and therefore
the belief to adopt a particular religion should be founded on common
foundation. God is perfect the universe is perfect but we're not
perfect let our soul may appreciate it. The primary objective of the
society is to do welfare of all human beings and when we inspite
living inside the boundaries of our country may not provide salutation
to that nation We have no right enjoy any right in such country.
