Re: Conversion, yes. Inducements, no.
by common sense on Oct 06, 2008 10:34 AM

The same argument is used when ever the debate arises whether Indian masses are ready for democracy. I like your argument; even tribals and poor convert due to inducement, as you say we should respect their decision as adults since they were ready to be induced; Those who cry foul against induced conversions through monetary help do not know what is hunger probably. Though I am a staunch Hindu and might even have felt contempt at one time at those who convert for economic reasons, now I amm feeling sympathy after seeing the reality. If we want to protect Hindu religion, we should first ensure two meels a day for our brethern before spouting stronger sentiments
