| Abstract: | Abstract This study investigates the push factors behind religious conversion from Hinduism to Christianity within the Dalit community in Resunga Municipality, Gulmi, Nepal. The research specifically targets four wards of the municipality (ward No. 1, 2, 8, and 9) with a notable Dalit population, where three churches are established. The study identifies the primary push factors for conversion as dissatisfaction with the norms and values of Hinduism, idol worshiping (Murti Puja), the animal sacrifice system, showy culture, false stories, influence of specific castes, inability to understand, and lack of clarity regarding eternal life. The discriminatory cultural norms and values embedded in Hinduism, such as the dominance of higher castes and the prohibition of Dalit participation in religious activities, are significant push factors for conversion. Additionally, the Dalit respondents expressed dissatisfaction with the hierarchical caste system, which marginalizes and oppresses them, leading to a desire for social equality and justice. The prohibition of Dalit access to temples, the focus on idol worshiping, and the showy culture surrounding religious events further contributed to their disillusionment with Hinduism. Moreover, the influence of Christian missionaries played a vital role in promoting alternative beliefs among the Dalit community, emphasizing the accessibility of God through prayer rather than animal sacrifice. The perceived lack of truth and credibility in Hindu religious texts, the influence of specific castes in power and politics, inability to comprehend Sanskrit scriptures, and the absence of a clear concept of eternal life in Hinduism also contributed to the push factors for religious conversion. Despite the presence of anti-conversion laws, the number of Christians in the Dalit community continues to rise. The findings of this study shed light on the factors influencing religious conversion and highlight the Dalits' quest for equality, inclusivity, and a more fulfilling spiritual experience in their transition from Hinduism to Christianity. |
