I think someone needs to explain the anti-conversion bill first. The bill does not forbid people changing their religion. What it does do is to ensure that people's conditions are not exploited by zealous missionaries who try to force/coax/alure poor people to convert to other religions by offering money, threatening force or making false promises. Its sad but true that a lot of Christian missionary work takes place on these grounds. A lot of people convert to christianity not knowing anything about the tenets of the faith. In effect, it actually serves christianity to have this law.

i strongly condemn those acts, but I repeat how would you prove it in most cases? There may be some black-and-white cases, but the point can be strecthed to ban every conversion, personal or not. If a person reads a Bible and decides ON HIS OWN to become Christian, if he receives a medal as a gift on converting, then he will run afoul of thie law. it's too difficult to give a call.
