Respected experts,
we are a hindu family. But my elder brother married a christian girl and have two children. In the school he has given the religion of the children as christians(He is telling that he has not converted to christianity) . Now we have dispute betn us regarding the property . According to hindu law is he eligible for the properties of my father and mother and grandfathers.
If he again converts to Hinduism is he eligible

when a person changes his religion he is not a Hindu any more, Hindu law does not apply to him, he cannot be considered as coparcener, he is not eligible to get the properties

Regarding conversion is it enough if one simply gives his/her children's religion as Christian.

yes, i do agree with my learned friends.
when a person renounces specifically or acts or performs in view of renounciation, it deemed to be the conversion, where the specific ritual is not necessary.
based on this ground, he can never be eligible as coparcener, to have a an interest or share the property, whether it is ancestral or self acquired.

If he is not professing Hinduism, he can not be considered as Hindu since he does not have faith in hinduism and ceased to practice hinduism.
