Brian I have seen plenty of cases were missionaries/evangelists coerce the people to convert.
Typical tactics are go to a really poor place and build a school for poor people. Offer their children free education, 6 months later you call the parents and tell them if they dont convert their child will be expelled from school.
Second, constantly abuse local customs and religion, I have personally seen some missionaries take a picture of a hindu god and garland it with shoes (which is very insulting) or pictures of Jesus kicking a hindu god. Ofcourse if there is violence then there is hue and cry. Imagine if I a Hindu went to one of the deep christain areas in the South and did that.
Ofcourse I dont paint all missionaries with the same brush, some are much better than the others but a lot of missionaries groups esepcially the evangelist are notorious for these kinds of tactics of conversion.

But Genghis did.
And your "school" and "shoes" stories are as phony as they are old. And both have for decades been used as the rationalization and/or justification for the countless acts of unprovoked violence against the innumerable innocents who have been attacked, maimed and murdered by thus incited bigoted and volatile mobs during those same decades.
And even were your school story in its every incarnation and instance, by the way, true, it falls very far short of "coercion."
Which "coercion" would even then never justify the thousands of acts of religious and other violence committed every year in endemically violent and often savage India -- nor the millions of deaths that have resulted.
And then, of course, there is the unanswered question: "what is Hindism so darned afraid of that it has to murder those who would freely give of their lives and of their wealth to offer its victims even a school and an education -- never mind a better way -- and a chance at Eternal Life?"
As for your, "hindu in the 'deep Christian areas' in the south," insult?
Have you any idea how many hundreds of thousands of virulently un-and-anti-American islamists -- never mind the Buddhists and Heathens and Hindus and Pantheists and practitioners of every other teaching known to man -- are doing just that and have for decades been doing it in every corner of America?
