You are no longer a Hindu. It is not your name anymore.

Says who? Is there an authority that decides what name a person HAS to use?

Okay then why don't you call yourself Muhammed Iqbal and then practice Kashmir Brahmin Hinduism and see if you would not get a fatwa on your head.

That's your rationale? If people don't comply with your demand to change their names, you will put a fatwa on their heads?

It is not about me putting a fatwa on their heads. They should do the right thing and change their names to reflect the new reality of the new religion that they have adopted.  You cannot have your cake and eat it too.

Who decided that that is the right thing to do? What does a name have to do with which god you worship? Do Muslim, Hindu, and Christian Gods recognize their devotees by name?

As I said before call yourself Muhammed Iqbal and then practice Kashmir Brahmin Hinduism in Kashmir and see what happens.
