They can switch back and forth. Certainly means lots of paperwork, new certificates etc (and they tend to lose sc/st/obc benefits while they're at it - one criterion for at least a few people) Another thing is that a lot of the people doing the actual conversions can be a bit irritating (some of the more enthusiastic variety of Christian sects - jehovahs witnesses, born again types, mormons and such .. more than one American who has thrown that variety of irritating SOB off his front porch before this I guess) The problem is that a bunch of kind and inoffensive missionaries who are rather more service oriented than conversion oriented tend to get chased after by mobs (mostly political mobs) out for a little Christian baiting, like in the Staines murder some years back
