Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has stirred controversy with his recent remarks questioning fairness within the Hindu religion. Addressing the issue of religious conversions, he asked, “If there is equality in the Hindu community, why would people convert to other religions?”
His comments have drawn sharp criticism from several quarters. While the Congress often accuses the BJP of being a Hindutva-driven, anti-minority party, it positions itself as a “secular” force that claims to treat all religions equally. Critics argue, however, that a leader in a constitutional role should refrain from passing judgments on any particular faith.
As Chief Minister, Siddaramaiah is expected to remain neutral, leaving contentious matters of religion to the judiciary, which interprets them in line with the Constitution. Observers note that when a state leader comments on whether a religion is “good” or “bad,” it undermines the very idea of secularism.
The issue of religious conversion continues to be politically sensitive. While Congress often frames it as a reflection of inequality within Hinduism, the RSS and its leaders like Mohan Bhagwat portray reconversions to Hinduism as cultural “homecomings” — a stance the Congress dismisses as “dangerous communal politics.”
