(From Mission Network News, mnnonline.org, 12/1/25) India (MNN) — Rajasthan (a state in the Northwestern part of India) recently joined a growing list of Indian states under legal scrutiny for anti-conversion legislation. The state’s new law, passed in September, immediately caught the attention of India’s Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court has issued several petitions for Rajasthan to justify the anti-conversion law’s constitutionality, which allows state officials to seize property and demolish homes based on allegations of forced conversion.
John Pudaite, President and CEO of Bibles For The World (BFTW), says it’s part of a broader legal battle as India’s Supreme Court takes a magnifying glass to anti-conversion laws across multiple states.
“They are questioning how this current government — the BJP government — can continue to steamroll across the country and pass these anti-conversion laws, which are nothing but an attack primarily on Christianity,” he says.
This new scrutiny may also cause those who target Indian Christians using anti-conversion laws to think twice.
“As they felt impunity, they would attack the churches and attack the Christians,” says Pudaite. “People are realizing that the laws they thought covered them may not have as much strength…as they had hoped.”
