Niyaz Khan is a Madhya Pradesh cadre IAS officer and a well-known author who has made news over religious conversions in India.

Niyaz Khan, an Indian Administrative Services (IAS) officer and well-known author, has recently made news for his opinion on religious conversions in India. According to the IAS official, Bollywood is to blame for India's increase in religious conversions, according to news agency ANI. The IAS officer is from the Madhya Pradesh cadre.

"Conversion is not right at all. The conversion started from Bollywood. Where big film stars got Hindus converted to Muslims, it is happening there even today.” 

When asked whether Bollywood is responsible for the conversion, Niyaz Khan replied, "100 percent Bollywood is responsible for conversions. Bollywood has been the role model of our country, people even consider artists as god-like figures. People imitate Western culture, resulting in movies that depict nudity and explicit scenes, which are deteriorating our civilization and ruining the younger generation."
