      ab: This article presents an exploration into the controversies and difficulties surrounding the judicial decisions of India concerning religious conversion, the caste system and human civil rights. The primarily secularist ideology of the Indian government is highlighted, but contrasted against the large Muslim population and the challenge of upholding the Hindu caste system. The trend of Indian legislature against conversion is also discussed.
