Raju: After the Fundamental Rights Sub-Committee completed its draft report on the rights to religious freedom on 3 April, 1947, concerns were raised that social reform may be blocked by wide scope of the draft right and the inclusion of the word “practice” in the right to freedom of religion.

Alladi Krishnaswami Ayyar’s concerns that without a specific saving for social reform laws, the freedom of religion clause would override such laws are also recorded in a separate note.
