ABSTRACT:

Religious law refers to a set of moral and ethical principles that are promoted and obeyed by individuals of various religious backgrounds and traditions all over the world. Examples of religions that follow religious law include Christianity, which bases its teachings on the Old Testament. The Shariah is a kind of Hinduism that adheres to the lessons of the Vedas, the Dharma, and other holy books. Sikhism is a syncretistic religion that combines elements of Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, and others. The texts of Jainism provide a code of conduct for followers. Three Gunavratas (Subsidiary Vows) and four Siksavratas (Vows that instruct and lead one's deeds) round up the five Oaths Vows of Anuvratas. Hate crimes and other forms of community violence have been frequent in India since since the country gained its freedom. Christians, Sikhs, and Muslims in India are all adversely affected by the country's history of religiously motivated violence. This form of violence is typically employed for the purpose of gaining power or influence in society or the economy. Mobs often react violently to these incidents, and in some cases governmental officials are directly involved, whether instigating violence through hate speech or downplaying the importance of an in-depth inquiry into the events that had place.
