It seems from the rather eloquent but yet highly uninformed essay by Mr. Franc, that the real awareness of Christianity in India is missing.
It is absolutely untrue and unfair to stereotype conversion to Christianity as some result of brainwash, bribe or ignorance.
I am an Indian, born to a Sikh family, and the only convert to Christianity in my family. I learned about Christ from a friend in College, and the truth is that most of my early spiritual progress was made with the help of some very successful and intelligent individuals who also are converts to Christianity from Hindu/Muslim/Catholic/Christian families.
That last statement might jar as a contradiction. You may ask yourself how can a Catholic or Christian be converted to Christianity. And I say this with the complete authority of Christian Biblical Scripture backing me, that "nobody can enter the Kingdom of Heaven, unless he is born again". Which only means that conversion to Christianity is a personal journey that every individual on this planet was created to make. Being born in a family with an existing worldview can only go so far as to helping or hindering a persons journey.
