I haven't heard one voice in favor of forced conversion. The problem seems to be that the Indian governments in question interpret all normal, peaceable mission activities (including works of mercy and educational outreach) as "forced conversion."

Could we have some definitions here?

Coversions through fradulent means may be a more "peaceable activity" compared to forced conversions but is by no means more acceptable.

I am afraid you are mistaken,infact the indian government is widely blamed for its spineless minority appeasement.The govt does all it can to support those real missionaries in their mission, let us take the example of the state of tamil nadu where the government is providing free mid day meals through the churches the move marked a milestone when seen along with the privileges enjoyed by the churches at the moment, such as grant-in aid for schools and colleges, mid-day meal scheme and minority rights.

I hate to say but many of the evangelists who come here are engaged in the " forced conversion" lobby.They work in rural areas,insult and degrade hindu gods and then offer incentives to those who would become christians.By forced conversions we indians are talking about those who come in the disguise of missionaries and hold people's faith for ransom.

I am a devout catholic and i think i know what is happening here,It is very unfortunate that few real missionaries are becoming victims of crossfire. Friend,once you live here for a while you will feel sorry for the hindus, though they are the majority no seems to care for them.I can'nt imagine the situation if india were a muslim country....
