Why is that no one wants to embrace Hinduism and everybody leaving it? This doesn't happen with other religions (Islam/Christianity/Buddism/Semitism etc).

Lot of people are leaving Islam. Some of them have website: www.faithfreedom.org . Also many decent muslims would leave if their life was not threatened. The only way Islam prevents people from leaving Islam is by requiring death penalty for those who leave.

Come to US, especially the SF bay area and you will be proven outrightly wrong. I have seen in Santacruz a krishna temple run by white americans completely (including the archaks there). Hare Krishna has 2 lakh followers. More than 2 million in US practise Yoga and SriSri RaviShankar and AoL has a huge following including corporate. Baba Ramdev spoke in a UN Conf recently. Many churches are bought over and converted to temples in US/UK. Many muslims converting to Buddhism and Christianity in US. Growing presence of Vegetarianism and Yoga everywhere in US. In India, reconversion back to Hinduism going in full swing, lot of service activities by Sangh Parivar. It just requires confidence among hindus, after all Indians are hindus once.

you know Mr m because islam doent leave any exit route open and sucks people in forcefully and the reason of the suck force comes from 1. sweeping scope to enjoy sex slaves 2. Freedom to do nothing and suddenly strap a explosive belt and blow yourself 3. No exit route because exit from islam means exit from the world because many jobless people are ready with their explosive belts or ak 47/56 katta khanjar lathi bhalla chaku to make your exit smoother and many more i really dont have enough time more on some proper forum because this will go anyway waste.

Your grand father converted for money & lost a piece of his third leg in the process. You are forgiven because you would have lost your life at the point of the sword. Life is more precious than third leg. But that does not mean you hate the religion of your grandparents.

Hindu idea of spirituality is spreading rapidly in America with increasing interest in Yoga, meditation, belief in reincarnation, compassion toward animals, acceptance that there are many paths to God etc.
