Invar,
I actually agree with Ravager here.. why? Cos Im a Catholic and am from India.
You are blowing things WAY out of proportion...
There have been problems yes, I don’t disagree with that.
But for the most part things are not as bad as you make it seem to be.

THIS actually happened to me.
A preacher (bible society or new life christian or something like that) comes to our door and starts berating us for being catholic and venerating the Virgin Mary!! He then goes next door and starts calling our Hindu neighbors pagan devil worshipers!! Finally a passing constable had to intervene.. With people like that you can expect even retaliation. And you know what? Non-Christians will not be able to distinguish one from the other. We end up being clubbed with those ass hats and we had to explain to our neighbors that’s that weirdo preacher and us were NOT cut with the same cloth. You don’t just go to someones house and start insulting them and their beliefs.

I have heard that too. A lot of the foreign radical evangelical missionaries with big budget try to aggressively push forward their conversion agenda. They have a quota to fill and they have to show results for the funding they receive. In that process they even try to feed off other Christian denominations. They don't even recognize Catholics, Syrian Church or the Lesser Eastern Churches as Christians anymore. They are all clubbed as “Hindus”. And then they have their PR agents in US and Europe touting the whole “persecution” story to pitch for more funding. It's all a big scam.
