religious conversion and nationality.
by . on Dec 27, 2007 07:56 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

ppl say religion n nationality r two different things. further they say religion n conversion r personal belief of some1 to be followed in their own homes. but as a person ie by nationality, v r all indians. thus conversion of ppl from one religion to another does not affect our nationality.
now the point is. think of jinnah who was hindu by birth. n he was misguided to convert himself into muslim. subsequently, he realised his mistakes n wanted to reconvert to his original hindu religion. but during that time, the hindu religious leaders did not allow him to reconvert him to hinduism.
this frustrated jinnah to a great extent. he was then instrumental to the creation of state called pakistan in the name of religion. imagine if jinnah had been allowed to be converted back as hindu by the leaders then, the partition wud nt hv taken place. so ultimately change of religion led to change of nation and thus conversion and nationality r invariably related terms n cant b separated.
so ban all the conversions.

Who can convert any one. It is the inner decision one takes. If humann being is the hardware, the spirit of God can lead a person to the truth and the Truth shall set the person free. The re-conversion initiative by the Hindu fandamentalist will only bring anger on the nation. Have forgottern the cyclon and the earth quake? Let people live in freedom. What freedom do we have in India? Why cant one have freedom of faith and worship?
