Right to Freedom of Religion is intricately
connected to conversion. For me to change my religion, I must be influenced by
that religion and I will need somebody to formally accept me in that religion.
>From another angle that can be viewed as conversion. So Freedom of Religion without Freedom for Conversion does not make any
sense.

in Rajasthan?
Please note that Supreme Court in India clarifiied last year that there
is definitely Right to Freedom of Religion but there is no Right to convert
others.The case had been filed by Christian missionaries who want to convert
members of other faiths - mostky Hindus but also Muslims (in kashmir etc) ,
Sikhs (in Punjab, Chhatisgarh etc) and Buddhists . The most famous Sikh to
convert to Christianity -as per reports - was the Sikh King - Dalip Singh who
then settled in London- while under British rule.
