Torchlight your ranting against other religions does not make sense. Hindus inspite of having moved out from India about 150-200 years back to places in Africa, West Indies, Europe etc. could never convince the local populace to convert. Rather many of them got converted to Christainity and Islam. In the 1960' the West started taking note of Hindu practices thanks to charlatans like Mahesh Yogi, Osho and the rest. Instead of Hinduism gaining ground these yogis left an indelible mark of being crooks out to win a quick buck and their self aggrandisement led to dissillusionment and failed to motivate the majority. Even today what you see in the US and other parts of the world outside India is VHP/RSS style of Hinduism. This will never resonate with the locals as they are looking for solutions to their problems and day to day lives rather than in proving which religion is greater than the other. That is why the only religion that addresses these issues is Christianity which has the largest numbers and is most practised worldwide. Hinduism has to get out of its mould of segregation and be more inclusive to attract people or else it will remain a regionalized faith with only Indians practising it.
