Ancestral faith of India is spiritual freedom. Every individual had/has the freedom to believe in any God or entity or teachings of any guru. This is alien to book-based religions like Christianity or Islam where there is only one God – a male God. So conversion to any of these religions strikes at the very root of spiritual freedom that exists in India unless a person fully knows what he/she is getting into. India does not prevent anyone from following the teachings of Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Tirtankharas, or Guru Nanak. It is only when someone denies the others their right to have spiritual freedom the anti-conversion law comes into picture.
The press does not seem to understand this fact in their attempt to sensationalize this issue.
