The Supreme Court of India on Nov. 25 called a Christian Indian Army officer a “misfit for the Indian Army” while declining to interfere with a regional court order upholding the termination of his services from the defense forces. The Christian officer, Lt. Samuel Kamalesan, had allegedly refused to enter the sanctum sanctorum of his regiment’s “sarv dharm sthal” (place of worship for all faiths) on the order of his superior, citing his Protestant Christian monotheistic belief.
