Tips for your answer

✅ 1. Build the answer around the constitutional distinction between "matters of religion" and "secular activities associated with religion". This is the central constitutional test.
✅ 2. Remember Articles 25(2)(a), 25(2)(b), Article 26(b) and the Shirur Mutt (1954) judgment. These are the key constitutional value additions.
✅ 3. Avoid arguing either for complete State control or complete religious autonomy. The Constitution permits regulation of secular administration while protecting essential religious affairs.
