Medieval Times in India

No it's not a theme park. An amendment to India's Freedom of Religion Act has allowed conversion between denominations of a religion and labeled Buddhism a denomination of the Hindu religion. No longer will one have to ask the government for permission to convert from Hinduism to Buddhism or visa versa. The Freedom of Religion Act was designed to prevent forced conversions of religion.
One has to think of the moral fortitude of our founding fathers, humbling themselves before man's unalienable rights endowed by God and blocking the hijacking of a faith for political gain.
