Even the threat of divine displeasure will be considered as forcible means
• Religious Intolerance
The government in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu has brought an ordinance - or decree - barring forced religions conversions.
Anyone found guilty will be punished with imprisonment and a hefty fine.
The ordinance says all conversions from one religion to another, from now on, will have to be reported to the district magistrate.
The move comes nearly a month after reports of mass conversions of poor, low-caste Hindus into Christianity in parts of the state.
