Injuring or defiling place of worship, with intent to insult the religion of
any class

Section 295 enforces people to respect the religious beliefs of persons of any religion.

According to section 295 of Indian penal code, any person who destroys, damages or defiles any worship place, or any object declared as holy object by any class of persons with the intention of insulting the religious sentiments of any other class or with the knowledge that any of the class is likely to consider
such destruction or defamation as an insult to their religion, shall be guilty and punishable with imprisonment of mentioned term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both.

In other words, if any act is done by a person which results in defamation and destruction of any worship place or object (which is declared as sacred by any religion) with a sole intention of insulting their religion, then that person shall be held liable.
