Mother Teresa served the needy first ... the needy who their own people did not serve. So, vatican or catholisism comes later.
Besides, our constitution affords every citizen the right to practise, preach and profess any religion.

See my order: The needy, the Vatican and her own need to be famous.
Regarding our Constitution: Right to practice a religion does not constitute right to convert by coersion! Can you got to Vatican and try to convert Christians to Hinduism or Islam ? There should always be reciprocity!

No one was converted by coercion ... no one put a gun to someone's head to convert. People convert when either they believe in the new order of religion or they think that the benefits of being a christian far outweigh those of being a Hindu.
We Hindus do not let shudras near the temple ... in some places they can only see the deities from a distance and that too not at sunrise or sunset ... for such Hindus, converting to christianity or any other faith is no brainer.

1. Opposing inter caste or inter racial marriages are OK ... I have no problem with people marrying within their caste or sub-caste, or people not socializing with people of other caste or race.
2. There are separate churches within whites for different orders of faith ... yet, black churches and white churches do not prohibit an inter racial audience. everyone is welcome. this is again a "socializing" thing. you socialize with those who you feel comfortable with.
Discrimination based on color happened in the US until around the mid 60s and then it was outlawed. It may still happen, but is illegal.

Agree with you regarding Hindus treating other Hindus such as Shudras. Caste system should be completely eliminated and be made illegal to use the word 'caste' in public. Feudal System, Racism & Slavery practiced in the West is their form of 'Caste system'. 1. How is 'White parents disapproving marriage of their kid to a Black' different from 'Brahmin parents disapproving marriage of their kid to a Shudra' ? 2. How is 'Seperate church for Whites & Blacks' different from 'Shudras being not allowed in Temples' ?
Dont be so naive regarding the coersion tactics of the evangelicals. Offering a bag of rice and some temporary job offer for converting is called coersion. Believing that my religion is better than other religion in itself is unacceptable to me. If Christmas can be celebrated in Saraswati Mandir High School, shouldnt Ganesh Utsov / Diwali be allowed in Convent Schools. This disparity irritates me. On top of that if I raise my concern, I am reffered to as RSS/VHP. That really aggravates me. Maybe I should be one.

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.
