Hinduism there is not officially recognised as a religion hence conversion to Hinduism can be conveniently invalidated. An individual's conversion to Hinduism and name change cannot be legalized. Tax-deductable status is not granted to Hindu organizations.

The conversion laws there are formulated make it appear as if conversions are allowed but it is still finely nuanced so as to discourage (and not provided a legal status for) conversions to Hinduism.

How can someone's religious conversion be "invalidated"?

I don't have any problem with that. And I wouldn't have a problem with India doing the same with Catholics in India. But freedom of conscience should be universally recognized.
