Abstract
Religion has always remained one of the most intrinsic elements in an individual’s life.
The rights to freedom of religion coupled with the right to equality are the monumental
foundations of Indian democracy. When on one hand the Supreme Court was
confronted to choose between women’s rights and religious rights, it inclined towards
women’s rights in the case of Indian Young Lawyers’ Association v. State of Kerala and
others. But was this choice made as a matter of public interest and beneficial to the
general mass? This paper not only discusses the ongoing Sabarimala debate, that is,
whether or not allowing women of menstruating age is a move towards women
empowerment and development but also attempts to bring forth the subsequent reaction
after the judgment. This research paper also attempts to comprehend whether such a
decision of the Supreme Court contravenes the constitutional mandate of secularism.
