All Non-Hindu relgions are doing conversion. There was no other religion other than Hinduism and no point there was a reconversion policies there. Also it has lot of religion and if you go in depth, it is the way of life. Both the relgions have been saying that there is no caste based or sub divisions inside.But those who have converted, are still in the same caste code they had earlier meaning, if a person belongs to Caste X when he was in Hindu, has been treated the same when he joins Xtrians. The marriges are also based on the same way as they were in Hindu. The issue with Hinduism there are somany paths to attain HIM and it is liberal and there are somany gurus and followers. No heads have been largely accepted like Vatican Head. If a person really wants to convert let him but there should be some guidance for regious leaders. We need to have a debate and a resolution. If not,people will fear on social changes and it may change a polical & social fabric of this country and there would be loss of face of this great Nation. Don't try to say the greatness of the religion but talk on the debate.

Hinduism was never a religion. It was a social order. Hindutva is not about hinduism its about looking at the world in a particular way that some people think is Indian. Hinduism or paganism existed all the way from arabaia to the northern tip of australia. Geo-political and religious changes occur over a period of hundreds of years. So in the past few hundred years hinduism has been limited to a very small land mass in the world. It has been on the decline from hundreds of years and its still declining because hinduism does not offer an ideology. The best arguments made by hindus is that Xians are evil, Islam is evil and thats why you should be hindu. :-) Well this wont stop the decline of hinduism. One has to accept that hinduism is on its last leg after a marathon run of thousands of years. How many of you think that hinduism would be dominant religion after 100 years in India ? No one. Its a constant process of messages conveyed by way of media that will change the way a common indian thinks.

Religion is matter of faith not a product. The so called evangelists usurp money from innocent beliverrs and use 99% of the money for their self and 1% to convert innocent people.
