If conversion is not wrong then re-conversion is also not wrong, said noted Kannada writer, S.L. Byrappa.

Speaking to reporters here on Sunday, Mr. Byrappa said that it is necessary to notify the conversion like in the registration of marriages. In registered marriages one month notice will be given, similarly notice should be given for conversion from one sect to another, he said.

Mr. Byrappa said that conversions should be voluntary and there should not be any allurements for the conversion.

He lauded the Modi government saying that the relationship of India with other countries is improving. He referred to China and Japan coming forward to build the “Bullet train” in the country.

Education in mother tongue

He urged the need for education in mother tongue for children up to High School. He said Kannada language and literature will be in danger if education in Kannada up to High School is not given in the state.

Cultural Policy

He spoke against bringing cultural policy in the state.

He said bringing cultural policy will be anti-democratic subjecting artists, writers and others in the cultural field under a cultural framework is not good.
