It (the Freedom to Convert) also goes for the
benefits of the Hindus. They can convert thousands or millions of poor Muslims
in every city in India, if they want to covert. The only
reason the Hindus oppose Conversion, in my mind, is that the Hindus are not
interested to convert these poor Muslims in India to Hinduism and serve
them, because they know that these Muslims are enjoying a better life of
equality being Muslim than being a Hindu. The Hindus know that in
the Conversion game, they will loose because they have nothing to show to these
poor Muslims.That is sad but true.

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.

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.
