The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
On August 12th, a bill to amend the existing anti-conversion law was passed in India's Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly. The new legislation states that the punishment for forcibly converting would be increased from 7 to 10 years. Minority religious communities feel that the Himachal Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act is essentially designed to prevent and disincentivize the Hindu population from changing their religion. Under this bill, if a person oversees the religious conversion of two or more people simultaneously, it will come under the "mass conversions" category. The forced conversion of religion will be a non-bailable offense; the trial of such cases will go directly to the session court. The bill also forbids the lower-caste Hindus from benefiting from the reservation quota in education and employment if they or a family has converted to Christianity. Under the new legislation, any marriage with the sole purpose of converting the spouse would be declared "null and void." To change one's religion after marriage, all the people involved in conversion must provide a month's notice to a local governing magistrate.
