Over 100 people reconverted to Sikhism in Amritsar(video)

Amritsar/ New Delhi

Around 120 people from 15 families were re-converted to Sikhism from Christianity in a ‘ghar wapsi’ (homecoming) event in Amritsar city of Punjab. Lately, there have been a lot of cases of religious conversions – mainly to Hinduism – in the country and politicians have slammed ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for not taking any action against it. The families stated they originally belonged to Mazhabi Sikh community and were lured into Christianity. Reportedly, the conversion function was organised by Dharma Jagran Manch, a body associated with Hindu nationalist organisation Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS), after people expressed desire to return to Sikh faith. Many have accused that these conversions are done forcefully but Kumar said no one forced him to change his religion.
