CHRISTIAN BREAKING NEWS: 🚨⚖️ ✝️ Rajasthan’s New Anti-Conversion Law: Faith or Fear?
Rajasthan passes India’s toughest anti-conversion law — with life sentences and a clause critics say favors reconversion to Hinduism.
Imagine facing life in prison… not for violence, not for crime… but for sharing your faith.
In India’s state of Rajasthan, that reality just became possible.
It’s called the Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Bill, 2025 — a law that, according to the Times of India, has been described by Rajasthan’s Minister of Home Affairs as “the strictest anti-conversion law in the country.”

According to Times of India and Moneycontrol, the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly passed the Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Bill, 2025, in September.
The Bill criminalizes any religious conversion made through “misrepresentation, force, undue influence, coercion, allurement, marriage, or any fraudulent means.”
The penalties are among the harshest in India.
Moneycontrol reports that the punishment includes seven to fourteen years in prison and at least five lakh rupees in fines for unlawful conversion.
Ten to twenty years and ten lakh rupees in fines if the converted person is a minor, a woman, or from a Scheduled Caste or Tribe.
Life imprisonment and up to twenty-five lakh rupees in fines for what is called a “mass conversion.”
The law also makes it mandatory for both the person converting and the one conducting the ceremony to report the conversion to the District Magistrate.
Supporters say it’s about protecting people from exploitation. But one clause has sparked the biggest controversy.
________________________________________
What if this law that punishes one kind of conversion… quietly protects another?
What does “returning to your ancestral religion” really mean?

Moneycontrol highlights a key exemption in the Bill: anyone “returning to their ancestral religion” is not considered to be converting.
In plain terms, if your ancestors were Hindu and you “return” to Hinduism, the law says you’re not converting at all.
No penalties. No reporting. No restrictions.
But if you convert from Hinduism — for example, to Christianity or Islam — the full weight of the law applies.
Critics, cited by Times of India and Moneycontrol, call this a double standard — one that favors reconversion to Hinduism.
Supporters argue it’s about preserving ancestral identity and cultural roots.
For many Christians, it’s not just legal — it’s personal.
It’s about faith… and fear.

What do you think — is this law about protecting people, or controlling belief?
Type below:
Type “Faith Over Fear” if you believe faith should always be free.
Type “Law Over Faith” if you think governments should regulate conversions.
