Of course you are familiar with Hindu honor killings, bride burnings, and the inflexible caste system entrenched in religious belief and, as you appear to recognize, the rape of Catholic nuns and setting fire to Christian Houses of Worship. You are to be applauded for your conversion and much welcomed.

I have never heard of a Hindu “honor killing”, the caste system is something that can be explained but I do not have time right now (aside from the fact that its use is now falling apart and as currently practiced not based on the scriptural injuctions anyway), and as far as violence against Christians, much of it is either lies by the media - of course, anyone committing violence as you describe should be strongly punished. But keep in mind also that some of the “Christian” groups in India are fronts for Maoist and terrorists. Christian in name only.

Bride burnings, from what I have read, are perpetrated by Muslims as well, and have nothing - nada - to do with actual Hinduism, Hindu teachings, or history. It’s kind of like calling any crime by someone who is nominally a Christian (goes to church occasionally, or even lives in a community with a lot of Christians) who murders his wife a “Christian wife murder”.
