How rampant is the conversion racket shown in The Kerala Story? Is it fact or propaganda? Is the government involved in this conspiracy? What are its implications?

One fine evening, I decided to give the film a watch, because what I had heard and what I read about the film were exact opposites, which kindled my curiosity. My cousin, who I think is usually rational, supported this film; that made me more curious.

In this episode, I dice through the entire block of available information to help you make a conscious choice about your stand with the film. This is not a film review. This is about objectively looking at the facts we have in front of us, such as:

• Why should it be difficult to believe that 32,000 people vanished?
• A case against the official religious conversion numbers
• A case for the non-Muslim girls that get sent to Syria
• Conversions and migration
• The numbers superimposed on the population
• The passport problem
• The issue of conversion
• National security from the educated point of view
• Should the film be banned?
• The ₹150 lesson
• How to handle the conversion issue
