Hinduism never tries to uproot another religion. The most radical Hindu won't think of converting another just because he/she is not a Hindu. In stark contrast with the two major Abrahamic religions, Hinduism does not have the concept of forced or monetarily induced conversions. Having said that, Hinduism could be made much more rational by getting rid of the caste system. This is one renaissance that should have happened at least five centuries back.
BJP's CD is a portrayal of the ghastly truth that is being played out everyday. Everyday the Hindus are being pushed more and more towards becoming minorities in their home land and the government does not spare any effort towards keeping the Hindus divided. The result is that anti Hindu forces rule the roost and the mostly anti Hindu media can get away with its partisan act. If yo do not believe me, look no further than Pakistan and Bangladesh to understand what would happen if Hindus were to lose their majority in India. Pick up a copy of Lajja and start reading. Read up the history of Goa and the Americas to get a glimpse of the barbaric acts of the missionaries. The American president Jefferson accurately described the state of affairs when he said "The Christian God is cruel, vindictive, capricious and unjust". Religion is what we practice. I am a proud Hindu and believe in the chant "Sarbe Bhabantu Sukhinah", but the same can't be said of the missionaries. For them, it is convert thy neighbour and only then love him. I would like to add that I consider Jesus Christ to be a saviour of humanity just like Buddha was. But as I have said earlier, religion is what we practice and in that respect my Hinduism sans its casteism is much more modern than a missionary's Christianity.
Religions are meant to be empowering tools, not means to end ourselves, but unfortunately some of us are stuck with medieval mindsets. If the media is indeed so concerned about BJP's CD, it will have to start the cleansing with itself. Right now their act is more akin to a sewer trying to clean a polluted river.
