Religious experts believe that in a multi-religious society like India, questions of personal faith and religious identity are sensitive. Sometimes such videos are seen as an example of communal harmony, while at times they conflict with traditional religious interpretations.
From a legal perspective, as long as an activity does not affect law and order, an individual’s religious freedom is protected under the Constitution. However, social and religious organizations have their own interpretations and guidelines.
The viral video has once again brought questions of religion, identity and personal freedom to the center of discussion. On one hand it is being considered a symbol of social harmony, while on the other hand it is being tested on the basis of religious norms.
At present, the video is yet to be confirmed at the official level and clear information about the circumstances is yet to be revealed. In such sensitive matters, only confirmation of facts and restrained reaction is considered beneficial for the society.
