dear moses., may god bless you for your rationale approach to a sensitive issue. but unfortunayely INDIA is full of religeios fanatics who do not see logic or rational in their thought and deeds. result is convert by HOOK OR CROOK ,the objective being "increase the number".. otherwise why should kerala priests preach for producing more children in christian families and birth control is not followed by christians.
therefore your voiews that it is going to give an opportunity for both the communities to "LEARN" more about each other may not hold water for a logical conclusion,since these facilities were and are available even now without using a smoke screen.
