Raj introduces new Bill in Assembly to curb unlawful religious conversions
The Statesman Siliguri
|February 04, 2025
Rajasthan Health Minister Gajendra Singh Khimsar introduced a bill in the state assembly here on Monday for legislating on a stringent anti-conversion law for prohibiting unlawful and forcible religious conversions.
Talking to reporters in the lobby of the state assembly complex, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Joga Ram Patel said the bill will offer effective deterrence against conversions by way of fear, promise, deceit, or by deceitfully luring for marriage with pressure conversion.
This new law will have provision of stringent punishment of rigorous jail terms, Patel said.

Independent India did not consciously ratify Macaulay's contempt; it did something less dramatic and more durable. It allowed the colonial syllabus to survive by inertia.
