ABSTRACT
India's populace of over 1.2 billion individuals is just second to China's. In addition to the fact that it is an enormous populace, it is religiously different. India's Hindu populace is almost 80% of its all out populace, with an expected 172.2 million Muslims, which makes it the third-biggest Muslim nation on the planet behind Indonesia and Pakistan. Furthermore, there are an expected 27.8 million Christians, 20.8 million Sikhs, and 4.5 million Jains. Since India picked up its freedom from the UK on August 15, 1947, it has consistently been a majority rule, mainstream, and plural society. In later a long time, be that as it may, religious minorities have seen a decay of their privileges. The Indian government, at both the national and state levels, frequently overlooks its established responsibilities to ensure the privileges of such minorities. National and state laws are utilized to disregard the opportunity of minority networks. Brutality against strict minorities, segregation, constrained changes, and situations with expanded occasions of provocation and terrorizing of minorities are not new marvels in India.
