Dear Mohiniji,
Is your intention to convert is for the sake of marriage? If so it is not difficult.Approach the local Imam of the Masjid,put in an application for your conversion and an affidavit stating our belief in the religion you wish to convert.It will be over in a day.Then change your name through an offecial gazzette.

Thank you for the quick response. No, the conversion is not for the sake of marriage but out of faith for the respective religion.

Mohiniji,
I have replied to your private message.If you really want to convert to Islam,You can directly approach any masjid and opt for conversion, that Hindu religion is as bad as garbage, and I intend to convert to Islam.
