Detailed Solution

The given statement is false. India is a secular country and provides its citizens full-fledged freedom regarding religious practices. It allows every individual to follow the religion of their choice and can interpret religious teachings and practices according to their understanding. It also allows people to leave their existing religion and join another religion. Religion is an ascribed identity. One does not choose their religion but is born into and becomes their religious identity. But the constitution of India allows its citizens to change their ascribed religious identity and choose another religion of their choice. But the practice of forced conversion of religion in the masses is wrong and not at all secular. It solely depends on the choice of the individuals. The correct statement is in India; people have the freedom to leave and join another religion.
