RELIGION

The move has been welcomed by the Gujarat Buddhist Academy (GBA), a prominent organisation that hosts conversion events in the state. Ramesh Banker, Secretary of GBA, told Indian Express (IE) that the circular has made it clear that Buddhism has nothing to do with Hinduism. He also said that the organisation always took prior permissions, but “confusion was created by (some in the) administration while misinterpreting the law." "We believed from the beginning that Buddhism is not a part of Hinduism and for conversion to Buddhism, prior permission of the district magistrate is mandatory in a prescribed format. It was our demand (to issue such a clarification), which has been fulfilled," Banker told IE. Here's what the legal experts say about it: Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, Hinduism are recognized as separate religions under the constitution, said Apeksha Lodha, Partner, Singhania & Co. However, Supreme Court's Advocate on Record Rishi Sehgal said as part of the wider Hindu community which has different sects, sub-sects, faiths, modes of worship and religious philosophies, Sikhs and Jains are recognized as sects and sub-sects of Hindu religion in statutes like the Hindu Marriage Act, Hindu Succession Act, Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act. Talking to LiveMint, Apeksha said that Article 25 of the constitution allows all persons to have freedom to profess, practice and propagate any religion, and therefore converting to another religion by free will is legal in India. “No special permission is required to change religion in India. Everyone is free to change religion in India however the legal procedure is to be followed," she said. To which, Sehgal said states such as Gujarat have enacted anti-conversion laws, to keep a check upon forcible conversion. “States, including, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand have enacted Anti-conversion laws, to keep a check upon forcible conversion from one religion to another, with penal consequences," he told LiveMint.
