Abstract
India is a multireligious society with religious harmony. India upholds the values of secularism as the basic feature of its Constitution. Respect for other religions and their beliefs is one of the main characteristics of Indian society and the core of religious harmony. The life of each and every Indian citizen is very much rooted in their religious beliefs and practices, with true trust and confidence in constitutional values. The recent development of religious fanatism or radicalism shakes the secularistic pillar of the nation and is a threat to religious harmony. A narrow-minded attitude toward other religions creates a feeling of insecurity and fear of survival among people. This can be considered a disturbing element of religious harmony and one of the major challenges India currently faces. Legislations related to religion can be seen as a small challenge in the developmental process of religious harmony. The judiciary holds an important place in securing and promoting this harmony. Interreligious dialog is a channel through which to ensure harmony in a pluralistic society. This paper analyzes the emergence of religious concord and its applicability to the current Indian context.
