The term 'Love Jihad' seems to have originated in coastal Karnataka and Kerala, a belt known for communal tension. Churches were attacked after allegations of forced conversion to Christianity. The young daughter of an MLA from Kasargod said she was pulled of a bus and abused for talking to a Muslim boy. In this context, the expressed concern over conversion through a love jihad is in tune with the overall atmosphere of suspicion.
