Why India Needs an Anti-Conversion Law

Until about last few years, whenever protagonists of anti-conversion law raised their voice, it was suppressed by the antagonists or the so-called left-liberal intelligentsia of the country.

Out of the 4 articles, article 25 summarises India’s stand on religious freedom and it reads, “Subject to public order, morality and health and to the other provisions of this Part, all persons are equally entitled to freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practise and propagate religion.”

The constitution of India, as explained above, provides a fundamental right to every citizen to profess, practise and propagate the religion.

It should only be the merit of the religion and its teachings based on which a person can form the opinion to convert from one religion to others.

A nation-wide law will give more weight to this concern of forcible and fraudulent conversion ongoing in the country.

However, a nation-wide law will help states like Kerala and north-eastern states to frame their own laws where incidents of fraudulent and forces conversions keep coming to light.
