dated November 6, 1959 : Nehru’s religion

Prime Minister Nehru on November 3 said that while he did not believe in religious rituals, it was his firm opinion that it was a law of nature that good actions produced good results and evil actions brought evil results. Mr. Nehru said: “I have often said that I do not believe in the rituals of religion. What my religious outlook may be, I do not even know myself. But I do believe firmly in one thing that just as there are laws of physics and laws of chemistry, there are laws of good action and bad action. Evil action must necessarily, some time or other, bring bad results and good actions must necessarily give good results. I cannot say in what form (this happens), but that is a law of nature.”
