Yes, I Have Converted To Islam & Proud of it: Dipika Kakar - Page 19

My maasi married a Hindu and the kids identity themselves as Hindu. She wears bindi, sindoor, does karwa chauth and has changed her name.
Each and every religion has conversion story some do it indirectly while in Islam its out and open that a Muslim must marry a Muslim.
Lets not make it seem like Islam and only Islam has convert stories.

Muslim woman have graduated, have worked in entertainment industries, have worn bikini, have married non-Muslims and are still living in the society with their head high.
Islam may not allow certain things and there are rules and regulations but people who don't want to follow those rules are as liberal as anyone else out there.

lol, of course she wouldn't stay a Muslim if she divorced. She would pick up whatever new fad the next guy wants her to.

I don't know why people are bothered anyway. It's not like a useless Hindu like her would have added anything to that religion or culture anyway. She will be the same everywhere. Let whoever wants to go just go.

If you care about the religion, concentrate on improving it, granting women more rights, make it more inclusive, stop keeping women out of temples or considering ones who have periods to be dirty, etc. There are so many things that need to be done to improve life for the ones who want to stay Hindus. Forget the ones that leave - who cares.

The ones that convert would not have had any backbone even if they stayed Hindus. The children would grow up Islamic anyway so what difference does it make if the woman pretends to stay Hindu? Look at our ridiculously named Taimur Ali Khan. 😆

hindu women have more liberty, equal rights than any other religion's women. If there wasn't liberty and equality, dipika wouldn't be marrying a muslim in the first place.

Hindu women can wear what they want to, study how much ever they want to, there is a sense of equality. We don't have practices like burkha or hijab, we are allowed to do a lot of things muslim women can only dream

there is nothing called conversion in hinduism. Any person from any religion can practicw their own religion while being married to a hindu. It's not like islam or Christianity where they don't allow the woman to practice her religion when she is converted into either of those 2 religions. We don't really mind a christian adorning a bindi sindhoor or a muslim doing the same. We dont even impose our religion on the women who enter our families as bahu. So yeah all religions might have concept of conversion but for hindus there's nothing like that

i am a hindu and i am not ill informed. As for few temples not allowing womeb of reproductive age group they have their reasons and that is not oppression.

If you need to convert then its stupid. Islam and Judaism is so similar. They make either party to join their cults. Shame on these religions.

There is no such thing in Hinduism yet after marriage a daughter in law is usually expected to follow the tradition of the family. Your family might not impose such restrictions but it does happen in some other families. My aunts family for example because she was asked to change her name. But Islam does say that one must marry a Muslim so its not hidden. There is no force or no luring because its out there for people to know. Dipika or any non-Muslim person is very well aware about this things.

I dont see what pride is in changing your identity. Basically, denying what you were before. This is how slowly & silently they get to you. First little insistence and then full blown change and you dont even realize how much you have changed. Harsh fact: this is a way to increase this particular religion's population. Otherwise why would any guy from this religion not convert into any other religion?!

Still living in 14th century.

Brainwashing at its best. I expect people to be smarter than this.

Any person who asks you to change yourself was never in love with you in the first place.
