It’s xmas weekend and so first off, a merry xmas and happy new year to all. And yet, this is in some way, a not so merry xmas., not just because of the return of COVID in the guise of Omicron but also because in this wonderful land of ours, it’s not just Muslims who are being ‘othered’ but Christians too. That’s right, in this very week where we should be celebrating Santa and the spirit of Christmas, we have a not so nice narrative in our midst: that of Christianity being seen through the lens of conversion. This week, a bill was tabled in the Karnataka assembly that polices and criminalises conversions with draconian punishments.
