Chhattisgarh HC: Students cannot be forced to chant Hindu prayers
The Chhattisgarh High Court has declared that government schools cannot compel students to recite Hindu prayers. The court noted that if any student is forced to take part in such activities, the petitioners have the liberty to return to court. This legal challenge was filed against a circular from the School Education Department that had made the chanting of Hindu prayers, such as the Gayatri Mantra, compulsory in state-run educational institutions.
