Faith or Duty? Christian Officer Refused To Enter Temple Terminated
A controversy that cuts to the very heart of military ethics has reached the Supreme Court. Lieutenant Samuel Kamalesan, a Christian officer in the Indian Army, was dismissed from service after refusing to enter the sanctum of his regiment’s temple, citing a conflict with his religious beliefs. His case now before the apex court has reignited the timeless debate between personal faith and professional duty. Can religion take precedence over discipline in a force that defines itself by absolute obedience? Or is command the only true Dharma of a soldier?
