Goa Workshop | Religion And The Law

DraftCraft International is a global policy research and analysis think tank. DraftCraft International is pleased to announce its quarterly programme in Goa, India against the backdrop of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI Goa 2019). During the programme, DraftCraft International, in association with DraftCraft Institutes, will conduct and host Residential Workshops and Film Screenings.

Three-Day Weekday Residential Workshops In Goa
Distinct from the run-of-the-mill and mundane classroom exercises, the Three-Day Weekday Residential Workshops will be held at exotic outdoor venues, including those of DraftCraft International's 'live projects' in Goa.

About The Workshop
Religion and the Law (Focus - Sabrimala)
Religion has been the bone of contention for most in Independent India. Secularism, assured and delivered, in judgements and rulings across India will be analysed here. Alongside, the history of Secularism, Religion and the State's twin-edged bias towards the strict essence of Secularism will be examined particularly in the context of Constitutional Provisions and Guarantees. Freedom of Religion in newly-freed India vs Freedom of Religion in today's context will also be discussed. The Sabrimala judgement will be point of focus in today's context.
