, Why did he swear on Geeta in court and why he is not on Ramayana By philanthropist Vanita Kasani Punjab, Lord Shriram never resorted to lies in life. His life was an ideal life whereas Lord Krishna did not compulsorily follow the 'pre-established ideal' for victory in war but violated the pre-determined ideals for the attainment of victory. Then what is the reason that he used to swear on Geeta in court and not on Ramayana. Let's try to find the answer to this funny question: When did the tradition of swearing on the Gita in India begin? According to a study by the famous journalist Hemant Singh of Uttar Pradesh, the Mughal rulers in India started the practice of swearing by placing their hands on religious books. Because the Mughal rulers used to lie for their own benefit, deceit, they did not believe the word of the citizens of India, but they believed that the citizens of India would take an oath if they laid hands on their scripture. Then do not lie. Perhaps he had knowledge of the 'Gangajal' tradition in India for the word of truth. When was the rule made in the court to take an oath by placing a hand on a religious book The process of taking oaths on the Gita was a courtly practice until the Mughals and the equivalent reign. There was no law for this but the British legalized it and passed the Indian Oaths Act, 1873 and was enforced in all courts. Under this act, people of the Hindu sect swore on the Gita and people of the Muslim sect laid their hands on the Quran. The Bible was ensured for Christians. Did the Gita / Quran / Bible bear witness in court even after independence This practice of swearing in court was until 1957 in independent India, the practice of swearing in the courts of some imperial era, such as non-Hindus and non-Muslims in the Bombay High Court, with their holy book on. When did the law of swearing in religious texts in India come to an end In India, this practice of swearing with a book in hand ended in 1969. When the Law Commission submitted its 28th report, the Indian Oath Act, 1873 was suggested to be reformed in the country and replaced with the 'Oaths Act, 1969'. Thus a similar oath law has been enacted throughout the country. Are statements made by taking oath of God even today in the courts of India? The passing of this law has changed the pattern of swearing in the courts of India and now the oath is administered only in the name of an almighty God. That is, now the oath has been made secular. Separate books and oaths have now been discontinued for Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Parsis and Christians. Now this type of oath is for everyone; "I do swear in the name of God / solemnly affirm that what I shall state shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth". "I swear in the name of God / sincerely affirm that what I say will not say anything other than truth, absolute truth and truth." It is necessary to mention here that the new Oath Act, 1969 also provides that if the witness is less than 12 years of age, then he will not have to take any oath because it is believed that the children themselves are in the form of God. Huh. What is the justification of oath before testimony in court, what will happen if you have lied Currently, two types of oaths are taken in court. The first verbally in front of the judge and the second by presenting an affidavit. If a person lies after taking oath, then under Section 193 of the Indian Panel Code, this law is a crime and the liar will be punished for 7 years. Not only this, there is a provision in this section that any witness who gives false evidence or evidence in any case of any judicial proceeding or false evidence to be used in any process of any judicial proceeding, shall be punished with imprisonment for 7 years and fine. Will also be punished. This offense can be registered only if the witness has sworn the truth. If he does not give an oath, he will not be called a criminal for breach of oath. Why Gita is sworn, why not Ramayana Now come to the original question. Why does the Gita vow not go to court, whereas the Ramayana is more popular religious books. The logic behind this is that the Ramayana is a description of the life of Lord Shri Rama. People get guidance of ideal life from Ramayana. The Ramayana inspires people to have an ideal life, but the 'Gita' is a religious book of Hindus in which guidance is provided for life. This is not only a description of the Mahabharata war, but a detailed description of how a man should conduct himself to establish the truth. The Gita in Hinduism, the Quran in Islam and the Bible in Christianity are equally regarded as the scriptures guiding human life.
