A religion provides a set of belief which further provide a purpose in life. In today�s industrial era there is an emergence in the concept of secularism. Secularism is a concept where an entity is religion neutral. In our Indian constitution religious freedom is a fundamental right, every person has their own right to profess any religion they like. India is a place of religious diversity. The word secular can be found in the preamble which was introduced in 42nd amendment furthermore secularism is reflected in article 25 to 26 and 29 to 30 which means our Indian constitution acknowledges secularism. However, the term secularism is not expressly found in constitution. It is broadly known that India is recognised as a secular state, but however it strictly does not follow the separation between religion and state, deciding to obtrude in the realm of religion by treating religions equally. The best example is Ayodhya dispute which was filed almost 134 years ago. The primary dispute was for the land in which the Muslims demanded for the construction of Babri masjid while the Hindus demanded for the construction of Ram Mandir which dates back to 1853. This paper examines how equity of religion is applied in the case of Ayodhya dispute. The paper also contains a brief history about the origin of the Ayodhya dispute. Further it discusses the brief facts and judgement pronounced by the honourableSupreme Court. It also deals with the concept of secularism and how it relates to Ayodhya dispute. This paper provide suggestion about what amendment could have been done so that there could be enhancement in the current situation of the Ayodhya dispute.
