Religious freedom is guaranteed in one way or another in almost every nation on earth. In India, a multi-religious nation that owes its religious variety to history rather than any recent or modern events, such a guarantee takes on particular significance. Since religious conversions exacerbate India's volatile religious landscape, numerous state governments have passed anti-conversion legislation with the stated goal of halting conversions brought about by compulsion or inducements. This study looks at religious conversion in the secular state and adopting a set of beliefs associated with one specific religious denomination at the expense of others is known as religious conversion. Therefore, the term "religious conversion" would refer to the process of leaving one denomination and joining another. For instance, Shi'a Muslims oppose Sunnis, and Christian Baptists oppose Methodists or Catholics."Marks a transformation of religious identity and is symbolized by special rituals" is how some people describe religious conversion.
