Abstract
Religion has several meanings in the minds of people. For theologians it is a set of rituals without performing which one cannot qualify as ‘religious’. For jurists it is set of laws, rules and traditions without following which one cannot said to have fulfilled religious requirements. For philosopher and ideologues its real meaning is in its philosophy and ideology. Any deviation from it attracts the wrath of these ideologues and philosophers. For many others who are neither theologians or jurists or philosopher and ideologues religion is nothing more than following certain age-old cultural traditions. Any deviation from these traditions attracts the fatwa of being against religion. They hardly know what is written in scriptures or what theologians say about it. For them religion is culture and culture is religion. They keep on following these cultural traditions. For them nothing else matters.
