<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=4>Yeah I agree with you most of the times the people who get converted into some religion are poor people,they get converted into that religion for the sake of incentives.These things happen in a large scale in rural and sub urban areas!The representatives of those religion who want to increase the conversions ,give the incenstives such as Monthly stipend,Training in vocational courses and all.These things really help them to have a proper livelihood!So the poor people also get into a religion which is profitable to them!๐ But these so called poor people again stand in a row for the religion based reservations in Educational Institutions and other reserved fields!๐ก
<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=4>So the villan is not the poverty of the people but of the bad people with Bad intention of getting more people into their religion!!!
<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=4>Another point:
<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=4>The conversions are popular among emotionally and physically weak people! Most of the times the ignorant people are amongst uneducated and most of the uneducated people are poor people!
<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=4>These religious reprsentatives describe the miracles of GOD! These miracles cure serious illness like cancer of whatever part and all serious illness in a single blow and single prayer๐ without medical help๐ก!!
<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=4>The ignorance of people is converted into the form of convertions into a religion!So these type of conversions should be checked by Government!
<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=4>last but not least any religion is not bad.Almighty or GOD is one and the same!I end by saying "ekam sat viprah bahudat vadanthi<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size=4>"(Truth is one but scholars say in different words)

I'm used to this way of addressing people particulary in virtual life with "ji" tag.This is good for all and I'm saying this by experience,even the net predators behaved decently with me may be because of the distance I maintain !

We have seen how fast the missionaries have grown in India. They provide the best schools and charities and orphanages but the underlining is also propagates Christianity. Recently these conversions in some cities of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka have aggravated people and they informed police. We have read about how poor in North East and Central India were influenced wit money and TV sets to convert.
My questions are
1.Should religious conversions be banned in India?
3. Is providing money and TV sets and basic needs and influencing people to convert a forced conversion?
5. Govt. is planning to make religious reference compulsory in class 10th because some are converting to get job through reservation while applying to professional courses. What is your take on it?
The cherry on the icing was when a missionary preached me to convert standing outside a club in Amsterdam with a bottle of beer.....๐
religion is a very personal thing..i think its okay to spread goodness and knowledge around..but not okay
