Vinay Natekar: The conversions by force, fraud and inducements was are under debate. Have a look at the conversions in Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and Arunachal Pradesh and their impact on law and order there which compelled some Indian states to implement ban on conversions
But Today we can see conversions by enticement and fraud are quite rampant. Mass conversions by the so-called faith healing programmes in the guise of offering social service, etc should be checked at root. Response: Will you kindly enlighten us how many convictions were there under the various anti-conversion acts in the last 50 years? And aren't the VHP/BD the guys creating the law and order problems.Have you been following the news about Orissa, Mangalore, Jabalpur, Delhi, Dangs, etc or not? Conversions are only an excuse to keep the dalits and tribals under the control and domination of vested interests. If the VHP is genuinely interested, they can also work selflessly to uplift the dalits and tribals. But all this entails hard work, commitment and abandoning caste and creed discrimination. Are they ready ? Regards, Marshall
