Meghalaya HC has urged the @PMOIndia , Home Ministry to enact laws to allow the Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhist, Parsis, Christians, Khasis, Jaintias and Garos who have come from Pakistan, Bangladesh & Afghanistan to live in India and to be given citizenship.
India was one of the largest country in the world and there was no concept of Pakistan, Bangladesh & Afghanistan. They were in one country & was commanded by Hindu Kingdom but thereafter Mughal came to India & started ruling & at that point many conversion took place by force.

The Irish Origins of “religious denomination” in Article 26 – Legal Notes by Arvind Datar barandbench.com/irish-origins-…
The present article gives an interesting legislative history and does not deal with the merits of Sabarimala judgment as it is now pending before the Supreme Court for review. #Sabarimala
Article 26 of the Indian Constitution is derived from Article 44 of the Irish Constitution, 1937. Article 44, in turn, was based on Article 114 of the Constitution of Poland, 1921.
