520			_aIndia is a land of multiple religions, faiths and beliefs where every individual has the freedom of choice to practice, profess and propagate the religion of their choice. However, the coerced form of conversion has been the subject matter for a long period of time. Recently, there have been different instances of conversion that have been marked by enticements, deception and dishonesty, which is a grave matter of concern in the country. Various state governments have proposed to enact laws and have made amendments and passed ordinances to check conversion in their respective States. This author seeks to draw an overview of the recent issues related to religious conversion, and it looks into the various legislations that have been passed by different states of India to curb it. Emphasis has been laid on changing paradigms and judicial interpretations with respect to religious conversion. – Reproduced
