Abstract:
Proselytization is problem life. In many chances, it disturbs government stability because people who live as religious majority always problematize their power. Moreover, ?weak regulation? from the government in managing religious freedom causes public space to be dominated by the majority, on other hand, leaves minority groups alienated. As Parekh said that every right must be owned by individual or (sometimes) groups, so that they offer a way to manage rights in diversity in public spheres by dialogue. This paper discusses the policy made by the government and its impact on social life, especially discriminating against minority groups. The methodology of this paper is descriptive qualitative, through comparing some cases of proselytization. This paper also examines what should be done by majority, minority and government in managing diversity from Parekh perspective, which assumes each area has local wisdom. Through which people can deal with different regulation under constitution by using dialogue. Therefore, people (from majority or minorities) can gain their dignity as human being.
