The Gujarat High Court had through its orders dated August 19 and August 26, 2021 had stayed the operation of section 5 of the state government's Freedom of Religion Act of 2003

Hinduism claims that it is not a proselytising religion, and the current dispensation says it abhors religious conversion. However, this tangled mind-game of who converted who and when is futile.
