The Telangana Propagation of Other Religion in the places of worship or prayer (Prohibition) Act, 2007

General20075 sections

This Act prohibits individuals from propagating any religion other than the one traditionally practiced within specifically designated places of worship or prayer in Telangana. It applies to any person who uses spoken or written words, signs, displays, or literature to promote outside religions in these official locations. Designed to preserve public order, tranquility, and the serenity of religious sites, the law makes violations punishable by up to three years in prison, a fine of five thousand rupees, or both. This law matters because it legally protects recognized sacred spaces from external proselytization to help prevent community conflict and maintain peace.
