Which of the following is not allowed under the Right to Freedom of Religion enshrined in the Constitution of India ?
Answer: C
The right to convert is not allowed.
Article 25 guarantees every person the freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practise and propagate religion, subject to public order, morality and health. In Rev. Stainislaus v. State of Madhya Pradesh (1977) the Supreme Court held that the right to propagate means the right to spread one's religion by exposition of its tenets, not a right to convert another person, since that would impinge on the other person's own freedom of conscience.
Preaching and propagating are the propagation the Article names, and practising religion is expressly protected, so those options all describe permitted activity.
