Re: Religious Harmony in India

Just wanted to ask real quick whether the Indian constitution has the “Maintenance of Religious harmony act” like the Singapore constitution? Atleast after the Hindu/Muslim Bombay riots or riots of 2002, was something similar enforced?
I tried to look for it myself while googling but couldn’t find anything with the short time I had.
Even Singapore used to have major riots in the 1950s between all the relgious groups there but since these new laws have been enforced the various religious groups don’t feel disadvantaged in any way.
Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and Christians live peacefully in Singapore and I wish something like that would happen in India as well just so there won’t be that many communal riots and killings so even with so many religions and cultures within India, people could live in peace.

I believe that political parties like BJP, Shiv Sena, Muslim League and other similar parties should be immediately banned and organizations like RSS, VHP and similar muslim or christian organizations which are the factory to produce fanatic, fundamentalist, narrow and close minded people should be immediately banned. These steps would eventually bring the religious harmony in the long run.
