“Gharwapsi should be made eligible for Government privileges”: Tamil Author
Shri M Venkatesan, a young author of Chennai has come out with an apt argument; anyone who re-converts and embraces his/her original religion, namely Hinduism, does so in order to become a Hindu.

Shri Venkatesan goes further and demands Government privileges to persons who re-convert to Hinduism; he argues that inter-caste marriages are awarded Government privileges because they attempt to eliminate caste.
