Summary, etc. The story of civilization has two dynamic components, among many, namely Law and Religion. From ancient times, Law and Religion have interacted, jointly operated and, at times, mutually fought to overpower each other. In many vintage cultures and by gone societies, the two have been a blended brew and, even to this day, in many communities and countries, religion actively or passively affects law or is a component there of; but while Law holds religion in leash, generally speaking, in no country has law succeeded in extinguishing religion.<br/>Broadly stated, Religion, vis-a-vis Law, is fighting a losing battle but is still die-hard. From the perspective of the secular-sacerdotal symbiosis, India, a land of ubiquitous 'holies', fighting faiths and rationalist rebels, occupies a middle position. It may be an interesting study to examine the Religion-Law equation in a country notorious for multiple religions and proliferous pantheons projecting into politics, State and the Law, and yet, constitutionally committed to a legal system in texture non-religious but not anti-religious. Religious pluralism and legal secularism are constitutionally harmonised in 'Law India'.<br/>The Indian experiment in constitutional secularism and conflict resolution, a study in the social dynamics of Justice, in the perspective of frictional religious relation ships and fundamentalist rigidities in family laws, bring into play a viable blend of sacred secular values and a jurisprudence of peaceful religious pluralism.
