How is Ghar Vapasi Different from Forcible Conversions?

Dalit

By Ram Puniyani, Propaganda around conversions has been one of the major political tools during last few decades.

As such the regular propaganda by communal forces that Muslim Kings converted people into Islam by sword has been made the part of ‘social common sense’ by now. On regular basis around Christmas time one saw the anti Christian violence in Adivasi areas a decade ago, and in that context rather than focusing on the violence against religious minorities, the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee called for a National debate on Conversions.
