Which statement best explains the constitutional limit of propagating religion?

Correct answer: Propagation may be peaceful and voluntary, but not forced conversion

Answer: A. Freedom of religion includes the freedom to profess, practise, and propagate one’s religion, subject to constitutional limits such as public order, morality, health, and other Fundamental Rights. Propagation means explaining or spreading religious beliefs; it does not create a right to use force, fraud, coercion, or improper pressure to change another person’s faith. Option A is correct because it protects peaceful and voluntary communication while rejecting forced conversion. Option B is wrong because propagation is not automatically a crime. Option C is wrong because religious freedom belongs to individuals and groups, not only the state. Option D is wrong because exercising religion does not cancel other rights. Memory cue: propagation is allowed, coercion is not; voluntary choice is the key distinction.
