How does this article balance the right to religion with public interest?
This article balances the right to religion with public interest by allowing for the regulation or restriction of certain religious practices that may have economic, financial, political, or other secular associations. It also enables the state to make laws related to social welfare and reform, as well as opening up Hindu religious institutions to all classes and sections of Hindus, which can be construed to include Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists as well. This ensures that religious freedom is not absolute and can be limited for the greater good of society.
