“There is no compulsion in religion” (Qur’an 2:256), but as far as the accused are concerned, they weren’t compelling or forcing their victim to do anything. He could easily have refused to go along, and chosen to be killed instead. No compulsion!
“Karnataka: 12 including Nadeem, Iqbal, Rafiq and Shabbir booked for force-feeding beef, and converting Dalit man to Islam,” OpIndia, September 26, 2022:
In Karnataka, the Hubballi Police have filed a case against 12 persons, including a Muslim preacher, over the allegations of forcefully converting a Dalit man to Islam. Sridhar Gangadhar (26), of Yadavanahalli in Mandya district, filed a complaint with the Nava Nagar Police, alleging that the accused compelled him to undergo circumcision and converted him to Islam.
Attavar Rehman of Mandya, Azeesab of Bengaluru, Nayaz Pasha, Nadeem Khan, Ansar Pasha, Syed Dastagir, Mohammad Iqbal, Rafiq, Shabbir, Khalid, Shakeel, and Altaf were all identified by Sridhar as the accused. The accused, according to the complaint filed on Saturday, brought the victim to Bengaluru. They confined him in a mosque in Banashankari. They then began preaching Islam to him.
The accused subjected Sridhar to torture and pushed him to consume beef, as per the complaint. The victim experienced complications following circumcision, including bleeding and agonising wounds with abscesses.
“They took me to a mosque in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, for preaching Islam to me,” he has said in the complaint. “They also forced me to sign an affidavit saying that it was a wilful conversion and gave me a target to convert three people every year to Islam,” the complainant said….

“There is no compulsion in religion.”
“‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’“

The Hindu fellow is being named as a Dalit which means he is of the lowest Caste in Indian Society, formerly known as Untouchables.
.
This is the Caste that picks up the Trash, cleans the streets, shovels the shit, the lowest jobs you can imagine is done by Dalits.
So I can only imagine this wee fellow was told by these muslims that he will be of a higher Caste once he converts to islam as no doubt this Dalit fellow had next to zero education.
These muslims then probably thought he could convert other Dalits to the religion of Piss.
Daniel Bielak says
That is sad.
I hope he recovers from his wounds soon.

Many, if not most of the murders of Hindus that have been happening in India have been of Dalits. While they put out the message that there is equality within the ummah, fact remains that in the subcontinent, the person’s caste follows him no matter which religion he converts to. Casteism is more an Indian dysfunction than a Hindu one, since Hindus outside India – including in Nepal – do not follow the caste system, while Jains, Sikhs, Buddhists and even Christians and muslims within India, do!
Most of the support of Hindutva parties in India come from the ‘lower’ castes. While if one looks at the woke Indians on Western campuses, they tend to be ‘upper’ castes, just like Antifa is dominated by White males

None of the Indians living in the Western World are of the Dalit or any other lower castes as they would not be able to get the education needed to move to the West.
The Caste system is indeed a Hindu practice all over India and seems pretty well accepted by everybody in India as they all believe in the Law of Karma.
Infidel says
It’s a pan-Indian practice, which is why all faiths in India practice it, while in countries that Hindus were migrated to, be it Mauritius, Fiji, Guyana, Trinidad, et al, Hindus got rid of it. There is nothing in Hindu scriptures specifically tying anyone to a particular caste: there are ceremonies that one can undergo if one wishes to change one’s caste. Even converts to Hinduism can pick the caste they want to be initiated into, which is what happened w/ Wasim Rizvi, a former shi’a administrator when he converted to Hinduism last year
