History

Historical Context

The Supreme Court’s 2000 ruling in Church of God v. KKR Majestic Colony upheld bans on loudspeakers during religious events, holding that freedom of religion may be reasonably restricted for public health. That legal foundation now supports Uttar Pradesh families’ recent calls for stricter DJ bans at Ganesh Chaturthi immersions to protect schoolchildren.
