Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and High Court advocate K. Karunasagar has alleged that organised conversion activities are being carried out through multiple channels targeting the Hindu community, describing them as part of what he termed 'Mission Ghazwa-e-Hind.' Speaking in New Delhi on 20 July, Karunasagar claimed these efforts were aimed at altering the country's demographic and cultural composition by 2047.

The Allegations

Karunasagar alleged that a systemic campaign he called 'Mission Ghazwa-e-Hind' is actively working to convert Hindus through what he described as several tactical fronts, including 'Love Jihad', 'Gym Jihad', and 'Education Jihad.' He framed the campaign as coordinated and deliberate rather than a series of isolated incidents.

Elaborating on his position, Karunasagar said: 'Ghar Wapsi is a way to enlighten the Hindu community. Half the battle is won by educating society about the dangers they face. The second half involves bringing back those who have drifted from our faith. Dharam bachao toh hi desh bachega (Only if religion is saved, will the country be saved).'

School Teacher Controversy and Legal Action

Karunasagar referred to a recent controversy involving a school teacher who allegedly asked students to recite religious verses outside the prescribed curriculum. He alleged that educational institutions were being used to influence young minds, stating: 'A school teacher is trained to teach a subject, not to impose religious practice. The parents of a minor child do not enroll them to have them read Kalma; they send them for an SSC-based education. This is a deliberate attempt to breach religious boundaries in a private, secular space.'

He criticised the initial police response, claiming an FIR was registered only after public protests and intervention by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). Karunasagar said he has formally approached both the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) and the NHRC, seeking the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe what he described as a larger organised conspiracy.

Workplace and Societal Concerns

Expanding his allegations, Karunasagar claimed that what he termed 'Conversion Jihad' had evolved from historical invasions into modern-day infiltration in workplaces and social circles. He referenced an alleged incident at TCS Nashik, describing it as a 'planned conspiracy' in which employees were allegedly coerced into religious observance and subjected to workplace exploitation.

'These are not isolated cases. From beauty parlors gathering data for gangs to recruitment tactics, this is documented and systemic. They are working on a clear objective — to terrorize, convert, and conquer this country in the name of religion,' he alleged.

Policy Backing and Personal Commitment

Karunasagar praised the BJP government's policies in several states, stating that amendments to the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) and the implementation of anti-conversion laws serve as safeguards against what he termed 'conversion mafias.' When asked about concerns for his personal safety following years of high-profile legal battles, he said: 'This is not about my life; it is about serving a cause I believe in.'

He concluded by urging the Hindu community to remain vigilant, saying Hindus must 'identify the forces acting against this nation and their dharma' and 'start by questioning injustice.' Karunasagar's remarks are likely to draw both support and scrutiny, as similar allegations have previously featured in debates around anti-conversion legislation across several Indian states.
