1. Abolition of Untouchability – Article 17 banned untouchability, reforming caste-based religious practices.

2. Temple Entry Laws – Ensured access of lower castes and women to places of worship.

3. Ban on Superstitious Practices – State laws have curbed inhuman rituals like animal sacrifice or witch-hunting.

4. Regulation of Religious Institutions – Ensures transparency and accountability in temple or trust management.

5. Social Justice Laws – Intervene when religious practices violate human rights (e.g., child marriage, triple talaq).

6. Promotion of Equality – State ensures religious customs don’t discriminate against women or minorities.

7. Education and Awareness – Promotes progressive values over harmful traditions.

8. Judicial Interventions – Courts uphold reformative laws (e.g., Sabarimala judgment allowing women entry).

9. Protection from Exploitation – Prevents use of religion for economic or physical exploitation.

10. Upliftment of Marginalised – Ensures inclusive practices in religious communities.
