This could be construed as a list question maybe, which might not be constructive. – jmort253 Jul 7 '12 at 8:30

List question doesn't get appreciation on SE network – Ankit Sharma Jan 29 at 16:35

Answers are not required here, it's just an example question. Thanks for the answer anyways ;) – Creator Jul 16 '12 at 13:35

It's a good question - but can't see how is it related to culture, history or politics of India. Do we need to update the site definition and increase it's scope? – Yet Another User Aug 21 '12 at 20:28

Well it's about Indian government too, if it's not obvious I can change the description. – Creator Aug 21 '12 at 21:08

Kindly do not vote up this question. Use your vote to vote up other question which has less than 10 votes. Thanks!!! – Creator Dec 27 '12 at 12:42

Between this period?? A better question would be what set of laws are being used now. And the answer is none :) – Ganesh Krishnan Dec 13 '12 at 7:27

This question is more suited for Hinduism forum. Please check. – Rahul Gupta Mar 11 at 12:11

I thought I posted in Hinduism may be posted by mistake here. Can anyone change to the right platform? – Banned from SO Mar 20 at 12:11

Possibly more appropriate for trave.se. See this questions. – Yet Another User Jul 11 '12 at 19:29

@Yet - Hmmm... good point. Still, a little overlap is probably healthy, as long as the community experts can answer those questions factually or based on their experiences. – jmort253 Jul 11 '12 at 19:56

This is a question asked in general by occidental people in general, not just the Americans. – Codera Purpa Feb 18 at 19:58

	Can be easily found on india.gov.in. Not on stackexchange.com – ShuklaSannidhya Mar 23 at 12:13
	@Sann, what's your point? – jokerdino Mar 23 at 13:44
	Hi @jokerdino, I think the point Sann is trying to make is that this question could possibly be answered with a Google search. On Stack Exchange, the best questions are those that show the asker has already done some research on his/her own. Hope this helps! – jmort253 Mar 23 at 20:22

does this fit in India – Web Developer Jan 11 at 11:32

Yes it fits in India because most forms ask you for your religion. Even the visa application form asks for your religion and some of my atheist european connections were weirded out by it. – Ganesh Krishnan Jan 29 at 0:26

This indeed is a great question. Most probably, the police/government will ask an "official" atheist what religion his parents followed. I think @BinaryNights means acceptable as in _acceptablility not required by law, but by the people in authority_. Case in point, try using section 49 during an election. – KK. Feb 12 at 15:51

Ask the concerned authorities/officials... This doesn't fit in India. – ShuklaSannidhya Mar 23 at 12:10

Is this a constructive question? This question will likely solicit opinion or arguments only. – Ren Apr 17 at 13:30

@Ren - Yes it is. There are few factors which causes India to be a secular country. – hims056 Apr 17 at 13:34

Wont Google tell you that ? – AshRj Dec 3 '12 at 16:48

@AshRj In that sense Google will tell you everything. But this would be a all in 1 place detail for all the symbols with more informative references. – mtk Dec 4 '12 at 8:08

@mtk If the question was about why rather than what, then it would be better for the site. – AshRj Dec 4 '12 at 10:01

It's the same. What do you mean different? – Ganesh Krishnan Jan 23 at 3:09

It is a great question. @GaneshKrishnan it is indeed different here. Most other countries have a single religion and different offshoots of it, like Catholics/Protestents, or Shia/Sunnis. So, there it is a case of the state distancing itself from religion. Here, there are a lot of religions, and the state even considers minority religions as "minority religious communities", which means the government actually helps such communities by grants and aid in terms of land etc. An actual answer, based on research and discussion will be more elaborate, though. This was just off the top of my head. – KK. Feb 10 at 10:59
