Additionally, India's reactionary response to religious conversions among its largely free-thinking adult population, and the negative connotations attached to the word "conversion" itself, further motivated me to narrate this story. Major political movements like the anti-CAA and NRC protests, the unjust incarceration of political thinkers, and the incessant attacks on the religious places of Indian minorities, particularly the Christian community, made writing "This Land We Call Home" an urgent process for me.(less)
