【 摘 要 】

India have enacted laws to restrict religious conversions low castes convert from Hinduism, the laws reinforce existing social categories by making it harder for people to change their identities. The renewed attention to conversion in India in the last decade coincided with the political ascendance of Hindu nationalism, including the rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Leaders of this Hindu-nationalist political party and several related organizations regularly make statements against conversion in this Hindu-majority but multi-religious country.
