I appreciate your concerns about the conversion... and definitely we need to stop this conversion to preserve our rich culture and tradition. However there are a few points i would like to mention...1. The Christian missionaries have a loyal and dedicated work force backed up by huge amounts of funds2. Their only job is to promote conversion and spread Christianity.. and they have no other job to worry about due to the constant free flow of funds3. They have support from International communities which makes it even stronger bringing international politics into their favor4. India being a secular nation it's pretty difficult to take a stand against them legally unless otherwise proved legally5. Most importantly they operate at a very grass root level and often get away from the attention of media etc...So, they have their agenda very clear... and follow with strong loyalty...You may say that providing education etc may solve the problem but the issue much more involvement than just providing schools and teachers to the community which these missionaries are already providing in some localities...To my understanding to stop this kind of conversion we need to provide some incentives much better than what these missionaries are providing... for e.g. jobs, financial help, free education or anything which can lure them to stick to their own culture... We need to reach to the community before they could so that we can take the first mover advantage and also reach to more localities than they could... i.e., We should be able to beat them in time and space... that, i think, should be the strategy... Anyways, Can some one give the info/statistics regarding the spread of Christianity among our community... this can give us some idea of the severity of the issue in our community...
