RSS और VHP का “घर वापसी” एजेंडा | Anti-Conversion Law 2025 | F&F Ep-157 | Hemant

 
In this detailed episode of Facts & Figures, Hemant breaks down the newly passed Rajasthan Anti-Conversion Bill 2025 and its wider implications. The bill, approved by the state assembly and awaiting the governor’s signature, aims to curb "forced conversions," but critics argue it is highly biased and targets religious minorities, particularly Muslims and Christians, while exempting conversions back to Hinduism under the so-called “Ghar Wapsi” or reconversion campaigns promoted by RSS and Vishwa Hindu Parishad. We explore the key provisions of the law, including stringent punishments like 7 to 20 years of imprisonment and fines ranging from ₹5 lakh to ₹25 lakh for illegal conversion, stricter penalties in cases involving women, minors, SC/ST individuals, and large-scale conversions, and rules around pre-declaration and government approval for anyone wishing to voluntarily change their religion. The bill also criminalizes spreading “propaganda” through social media, print, or other digital platforms to influence conversions. Hemant also examines the political and social context behind the bill, from previous anti-conversion laws in Rajasthan and India, the role of BJP and RSS in shaping the narrative of “Hindus under threat,” to debates around religious freedom, secularism, and misuse of the law in cases of interfaith marriages. Watch this video to understand the nuances of the Rajasthan Anti-Conversion Bill 2025, how it affects religious rights, and why it is being described as both controversial and potentially dangerous in its application.
