The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On March 4th, Anil Vij, Haryana Home Minister, sponsored The Prevention of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Bill. The proposed bill will prohibit "religious conversions which are effected through misrepresentation, force, undue influence, coercion, and allurement." The bill also aims to stop conversions through "any fraudulent means or by marriage or for marriage." The bill effectively criminalizes interfaith marriage and interfaith relationships, making Haryana the 11th Indian state planning to adopt this law. In Uttar Pradesh, since this law was enacted in December 2020, over 50 individuals have been arrested. Those convicted face up to ten-year jail sentences. “Love Jihad” is a religious conspiracy theory which claims that Muslims across India are plotting to convert Hindu women through marriage. Raghuvir Singh Kadian, an MP of the Indian National Congress (INC) party, accused Vij and the ruling BJP of advancing a hidden agenda in their anti-conversion bill, and even tore up a copy of the bill in the state assembly. Many members expressed strong opposition to the proposed bill, calling it unconstitutional and accused BJP of creating a "divide in the society on the basis of religion."
