How did the British protect the interest of those who converted to Christianity?

Solution: The British protected the interests of converted Christians by allowing them to possess lands and be free to conduct their work. After 1830, the East India Company gave Christian missionaries full operating rights within its borders, including the right to convert Indian people. A new law was passed in 1850 to facilitate Christian conversion. This legislation permitted an Indian who had become a Christian to inherit his forefathers' wealth. The British thought that reforming Indian society was necessary. New laws were implemented to prohibit customs like child marriage and Sati. These changes simplified the process of becoming a Christian.
