you can tell saraswati mandir to stop celebrating christmas but you can't use that argument to force a catholic school to celebrate diwali ... it's their choice afterall. It's like telling a muslim that since my son married a muslim girl, your son should marry a Hindu girl. LOL
Offering a bag of rice is not coercion. The person can refuse rice or employment. When Hindus fail to give you a grain of rice and show apathy for your needs, a bag of rice sends the message that your religion is really good for nothing. Enough incentive for someone to switch. This is not coercion.
