That is not in line with what was said earlier. The whole thing about it being illegal if someone converts from listening to a missionary, etc. If simply listening to a missionary causes someone to convert, what business is it of the government?

As I have said before and repeat it for the umpteenth time. And expostion of the tenets of ones faith is no crime and voluntary acceptance of another religion is no crime either but proselytization as a systematic and organised activity is unacceptable. It is the judiciary's business to ascertain if the conversion is indeed genuine and not simply a scam as is the case with most of the Christian conversions in India.

I'm curious as to why it is unacceptable. That seems to be something that has not been explained very well.

"It is the judiciary's business to ascertain if the conversion is indeed genuine and not simply a scam as is the case with most of the Christian conversions in India."

How can the judiciary tell someone why they converted? The judiciary cannot see into that persons heart. As for your assertion that "most" are caused by some sort of scam, I'd like to see hard facts on that.

Does this mean that anyone who converts from one religion to another can be hauled before the court and compelled to prove his sincerity? Who would bring the charges? (I'm astonished! I thought you were opposed to inquisitions!)

Ok, so now you give your own propaganda piece -- "most"? That's the problem with the laws -- if they really want to stop conversion by coercion, no one would have a problem, but it's persons tainted by slamofascism who would then use these laws to ban even a person voluntarily accepting another religion.
