The ‘Karnataka Protection of Right to Freedom of Religion Bill’ was recently passed by the state legislative council.
Karnataka’s anti-conversion bill was passed in its assembly in December 2021.
The bill bans forced religious conversions by direct or indirect means.
It gives specific procedures for undertaking a religious conversion.
Under this legislation, any individual seeking to convert their religion must submit a declaration at least 30 days before the conversion to the District Magistrate.
