But I think Santosh meant to repeat this, albeit plagerism, to bring forth a discussion on this subject of coersing Hindus into converting to another's religion, or else. It does not matter to me he has taken some lines or paragraphs from another website / blog but its the "or else................." I mention above, we ought to discuss or expand upon. Why would another country who conquers another country force its citizens to disinherit their inaleinable right practice their religion as they see fit, or else1 Or else they lose their right to a job, to live or have a family, or all three. I do not believe India has anything to worry about with regard to being shunted out of existence if all converted to another religion, I do think forcing someone against their natural tendences or against their will is wrong, (unless its something that will frighten the horses). You will know how things have changed over the last 500 years in Goa alone, but also everywhere in the world where one's religious believe, faith their God(s) has been perceived as being "pagan" & forced to convert to another's religion, or else................ In many cases, especially in the Middle East (excluding Israeli Jews), there is a lot of infighting between factions of the SAME RELIGION, in much the same way, (also 500 years ago) the Catholics were fighting amongst themselves, & continue to do so. So where are "organised religions" of the world going with this? Leave well alone, concentrate on fighting AIDS, territory disputes, malnutrition/hunger, disease & violence against the person (physical AND verbal, sexual or otherwise). If we were being observed from outers space by intelligence from another planet I would understand why they have no intention of coming over to Earth & say "Hi, I'm from Planet Blog, ................" Bush would probably blast them out of the sky before they got a chance to land.... John Monteiro ----------------------------------------------------------------

Coercive religious conversion of Hindus contains a threat to spiritual tradition and the freedom of choice. If carried unchecked, coercive religious conversion would threaten the very existence of India as a nation.
