But conversions in India, as they are happening today, are not merely about empowering the poor. It is about a sinister and subversive strategy, hatched in the US, backed by the Bush administration over the years. Mario responds: Dr. Barad, I have good news for you. The Bush administration, which BTW has only been in power since 2001 and has had their hands full in converting 50 million Muslims to freedom and democracy, will be over in another month, so you can begin to transfer the "hatching" to Barack Obama's transition team. Sonal Shah may be able to help you get to the right people. Isn't it "sinister and subversive" to demand in a free society like India that people must continue to profess the religion of their birth even if if they want to follow a different religion after they grow up?
